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
