[Intro] D Dsus4 D D Dsus4 D [Verse 1] Oh can you tell me oh how the joy Passed from his childhood that’s not my boy I see he’s finished he’s run his race We’re not his family that’s not his face We taught him well and from his youth He knew he always must know the truth He left his country to go to war When he returned he’d found we closed the door [Chorus] But we never dreamed when he was leaving That he would taste the flowers of evil [Instrumental] D Dsus4 D D Dsus4 D [Verse 2] I know his habit was not so bad When for fifty dollars it could be had But now he’s home to his promised land And what he needs got to cost a Grand When he’d been home for six month’s time My son he told me he’d made up his mind He’s re-enlisted for three years more It’s too expensive to stop this war [Chorus] But we never dreamed when he was leaving That he would taste the flowers of evil [Instrumental] D Dsus4 D D Dsus4 D [Outro] Oh can you tell me oh how the joy Passed from his childhood that’s not my boy He’s re-enlisted for three years more Is the price of peace worth the price of war? Is the price of peace worth the price of war? Is the price of peace worth the price of war? Is the price of peace worth the price of war?

La chanson évoque le parcours tragique d'un jeune homme dont l'innocence a été brisée par la guerre. Alors qu'il était plein de promesses durant son enfance, il s'engage dans un conflit et, à son retour, sa famille ne le reconnaît plus. Il se débat avec des démons intérieurs, confronté aux conséquences désastreuses de ses choix. La pièce soulève une question profonde : le coût de la paix est-il vraiment justifié par celui de la guerre ? Le contexte semble faire écho à une réalité où de nombreux jeunes sont envoyés au combat, n'émergeant pas indemnes de cette expérience. Les réflexions sur la guerre et ses effets dévastateurs sur les individus et leurs familles sont particulièrement actuelles dans notre monde.
