| A Flower Down The Barrel Of A Gun |
Inspired by the post-9/11 warmongering of US President George W Bush, 'A Flower Down The Barrel Of A Gun' was written in London in support of the Global Candlelight Vigil for Peace.
This event - held on March 16, 2003 - was organised by MoveOn.org as a public reaction against the US-led invasion of Iraq. |

What we need isa
What we need is a
Flower down the barrel of a gun
What we need is a
What we need is a
Flower down the barrel of a gun
We don't need no George Bush
He's raising a war on terror rising paranoia
He's developing a culture of fear
Surely it ain't doing any good around here
I say
What we need is a
What we need is a
Flower down the barrel of a gun
What we need is a
What we need is a
Flower down the barrel of a gun
'Cause senseless warmongering
Will only encourage backlash terrorrism
Do you think the use of force is wrong?
Does it show us how to better get along?
I say
What we need is a
What we need is a
Flower down the barrel of a gun
What we need is a
What we need is a
Flower down the barrel of all these guns
All these guns
All these guns
All these guns
Let's make a prayer for peace
Let's hope they can work it out
Let's make a prayer for peace
Let's hope they can work it out
Well Herman Goering said the public can be dragged along
The leaders just need to decide for a war
We're endangered if we pray for peace
But they need to know it's in our best interest
I say
What we need is a
What we need is a
Flower down the barrel of a gun
What we need is a
What we need is a
Flower down the barrel of all these guns
