Ain't Gonna Party No More - The Turtles

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 destroy 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

You 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 pledge myself to you

I pledge to textbooks, dates and names and the 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
