I'm really enjoying the new album from Extreme. I'm a fan from way back. I thought ARFCOM would especially like the track "Flower Man" Lyrics: He speaks of meekness being no sign of weakness gently placing a flower in gun well-intended pacifism a naive idealism singing his favorite Lennon song bleeding heart insisting preach the path of least resisting milk and honey rolling off of his tongue "war is not the answer turn the other cheek n offer" sacrificing on the altar of love Flower man singing let's all give peace a chance Flower man keep your head buried in the sand Flower man you're my enemy's best friend Flower man you misguided utopian Peace in appeasing like it's always in season never needing to weather the storm betting on your better angels ignoring human nature in truth red in tooth and in claw lion and lamb lay in your hand of make-pretend forgetting every soldier unsung lest you care to measure all the blood and the treasure must be something worth fighting for? Flower man singing let's all give peace a chance Flower man keep your head buried in the sand Flower man you're my enemy's best friend Flower man liberty is a well-armed lamb Love is on the way or so they say {solo} {repeat 1st verse} Flower man singing let's all give peace a chance Flower man keep your head buried in the sand Flower man you're my enemy's best friend Flower man liberty is a well-armed man Listen here: www.last.fm/music/Extreme/_/Flower+Man Or here, if you prefer www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwxtDGI-lrQ (first link has better audio quality but doesn't always play the full song?) |
