How many roads must a man walk down
before you can call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must a cannonball fly
before they forever are banned?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind,
the answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have
before he can hear people cry?
How many death will it take
till he knows that so many people have died?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind,
the answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist
before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist
before they'r allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head
pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind,
the answer is blowin' in the wind. |

Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing,
where have all the flowers gone, long time ago,
where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls picked them everyone.
When will they ever learn, when will they ever
learn?
Where have all the young girls gone, long time
passing,
where have all the young girls gone, long time
ago?
Where have all the young girls gone?
Gone to husbands everyone.
When will they ever learn, when will they ever
learn?
Where have all the husbands gone, long time passing,
where have all the husbands gone, long time ago?
Where have all the husbands gone?
Gone to soldiers everyone.
When will they ever learn, when will they ever
learn?
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing,
where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards everyone.
When will they ever learn, when will they ever
learn?
Where have all the graveyards gone, long time
passing,
where have all the graveyards gone, long time
ago?
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Covered with flowers everyone.
When will they ever learn, when will they ever
learn?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing,
where have all the flowers gone, long time ago,
where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls picked them everyone.
When will they ever learn, when will they ever
learn?. |

The politicians, officials and diplomates cannot even
solve the problems, which would not exist without
them.
They are simply too expensive!
All the criminal organisations, the mafia and cosa
nostra and the south american drug dealers
together did not kill as many innocent people
as
many single states. They name it honour and glory...
Who needs fences and borders?
The officials treat the area within the borders as
their claim, where they have the prospecting
license. We, the citizen, must defend the claim
with our and our children's life. |

Who still thinks that it is
a matter
of intelligence, education, freedom,
tolerance, solidarity, justice,
ideology, humanism, human rights?
They are all pure nonsense! They are
prone to abuse - and indeed they are
repeatedly and continuously abused.
There is only one lack, the lack of
charity. It could not be misused. |
