Wildflowers Songtext
von Things of Stone and Wood

Across this land everybody settled down
To a night of fitful dreams and strange apparitions
As we tossed and turned, we saw ourselves exactly as we are
And not surprisingly, we found it frightening
Hey

Well, you don′t choose the place or choose the time
But history's a slippery slide
Be careful of those nasty drops down to the right
When you′re hit, it must seem a pretty good choice
For they give all of our malice voice
What do we expect if we won't open our arms?

Singing, "Hey!" We're all just earrings to the left of our parents
They′re all just haircuts to the left of theirs
And we all wonder, "Why do Nazis grow like wildflowers?"


Hey, Helen, let′s ditch the car, let's hide
We′ll through seeds of doubt at passersby
They will cross onto our side
We'll sing our songs into the night
As we cast off all those strange facades
We′ll see that we're all uniquely scarred
By the same hand
Beneath the same smile

Singing, "Hey!" We′re all just earrings to the left of our parents
They're all just haircuts to the left of theirs
And we all wonder, "Why do Nazis grow like wildflowers?"

'Cause everybody dreams the same visions in the end
I know, everyone feels trapped and tired
So if you see a strange door to your left
Then drop your things, and run for it

Singing, "Hey!" We′re all just earrings to the left of our parents
They′re all just haircuts to the left of theirs
And we all wonder, "Why do Nazis grow like wildflowers?"

Why do Nazis grow like wildflowers?
