Don't these soldiers look so funny wearing flowers in their hair?
Poor little flower child, wild eyes and crazy hair
Running around in search of love, he can’t find that anywhere

Give him flowers
Flowers

What’s wrong with you?
What's going on in me?
I tried to walk on water, but the ocean was too rough
The crystal ship it overflowed and the going was too tough

We need flowers
Flowers

What’s wrong with you?
They're missing up our world

Where were all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing, dying in walls everywhere
I heard back in ’65 they wore flowers in their hair
In a place called San Francisco, I think I’ll go there
What the world needs now is so much love
It's the only thing that it just
Too little love
What's wrong with this world?
What's going on in this world?
Soldiers fighting a war
They've got hatred in their eyes
Violence is the living
Our irruence their whole live

They need flowers
Flowers

What's wrong with you?
What's going on inside me?
Build me a wall of love that's high
Build me a wall
What's wrong with this place?
We're missing up our world
Young boys wearing crew cuts
They've got anger in their eyes
Violence is their language
And they're missing up their drives

They need flowers
Flowers

What's wrong with this world, daddy?
Oh, what's wrong with this world, mother?
Oh, what's wrong with this world, father?
What is?
What's wrong with this world, brother?
We need flowers
Flowers, Oh, don't we need flowers?
Flowers...
