The Turtles — Aint Gonna Party No More

I heard about a man Who said that he found a plan To end all the wars of man But nobody cared He asked them to drop their guns To come home and love someone Watch corn in the morning sun Plan children to bear Since I was just a little boy I've been hearing tales of war How if we don't make men destory Every land outside our shore How will they know we mean to fight? For what is worth fighting for? I'll never hold a gun for them Against my brothers 'cross the sea There's so much work to do at home When the mind and soul are free When will they send my brothers home So they can be free with me? Better end the war As quick as you can There's hunger in America We need every man We've got ignorance, pollution And so much more If there's one thing we don't need It's your damn war We ain't gonna party no more You went to war And you didn't even tell us We ain't gonna party no more We ain't gonna party no more You can't hold up the flag And try to lie behind it We ain't gonna party no more Oh, spacious skies for waves of grain Once I pledged myself to you I pledged to textbooks, dates and names And of dreams I thought came true How can my daughter do the same For your red, white and blue? We ain't gonna party no more We ain't gonna party no more We ain't gonna party no more We ain't gonna party no more We ain't gonna party no more We ain't gonna party no more We ain't gonna party no more We ain't gonna party no more
