Where has all the love gone now
Long time in passing
Now it's drugs and endless fighting
Screaming rage and biting

When will they ever learn
When will they ever learn

Where has all the money gone
Long time in passing
Gambling booze and partying
Then the abuse gets starting

When will they ever learn
When will they ever learn

Where have all the children gone
Long time in passing

See them hiding feared and crying
Wishing dad was dying

When will they ever learn
When will they ever learn

Where have all the policemen gone
Long time in passing
Caught up in all the violence
Trying hard for silence

When will they ever learn
When will they ever learn

Where have all good parents gone
Long time in passing
Who gave love with understanding
No hate or rough handling

When will they ever learn
When will they ever learn

Where have all the children gone
Long time in passing
See them hiding feared and crying
Wishing they were dying

When will they ever learn
When will they ever learn

Where has all the love gone now
Long time in passing
Now it's drugs and endless fighting
Screaming rage and biting

When will they ever learn
When will they ever learn
