Lyrics The Turtles – We Ain’t 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

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
