Here come the bombs You know what to do If I should be gone, son, it's over to you Set up the stall Put a smile on your face Your dignity's one thing they cannot take
Nothing is going to change Rise from the roots once again And after the bombs and the blame Their flowers will still remain
If there's a God Why doesn't He come And stop this cruel world from coming undone? Beware the poem that hangs from their lips They'll sell you a freedom that doesn't exist
Nothing is going to change Rise from the roots once again And after the bombs and the blame Their flowers will still remain, oh, oh Their flowers will still remain, oh, oh
Nothing is going to change Rise from the roots once again And after the bombs and the blame Their flowers will still remain
