Margriet Eshuijs - Flowerchild lyrics

rate me

<b>Flowerchild</b> by <i>Margriet Eshuijs</i><br />Late at night, you're still behind your desk

got your eyes on the stock exchange,

the world's a mess

You don't care 'cause your fortune will hit the sky

you've got more than you will ever need

but still not satisfied

What is left of the dream you once embraced

how we all would change the world into a better place

what has happened to those great ideas

like the flowers in your hair they've disappeared

Here you are, your own kingdom build on lies

always looking out for number one

and keep the world outside

A big house, three cars and a wine vault too

it's just a shame there's no-one left

to drink with you

What is left of the dream you once embraced

how we all would change the world into a better place

what has happened to those great ideas

like the flowers in your hair they've disappeared

Oh you used to be the first one on the barricades

the first to stand up and lead the way

now all that seems to matter is your own estate

and what your bank account is telling you today

What is left of the dream you once embraced

how we all would change the world

what has happened to those great ideas

like the flowers in your hair they've disappeared
