Political Humor

Pete Seeger penned what became one of the most popular anti-Vietnam War songs ever recorded. Now at 90, he’s written a new version of the classic, Where have all the flowers gone? The original song has been recorded by the likes of Joan Baez, Peter, Paul and Mary, and a lot of other dirty stinking hippies, making them a lot of dirty stinking money. Oh, and Harry Belafonte too.

The song also showed-up on the Girly Edition episode of The Simpsons in 1998, proving that show’s ability to make fun of everyone.

Now forty-eight years after he wrote those whinny, makes-me-want-to-gag verses, Seeger laments the Death of Global Warming, and the Left’s inability to pick a cause that will stand up to real scientific scrutiny. Pete shares these new, bleeding heart, commie lyrics with us, before he and Fellow Traveler Bruce Springsteen hit the recording studio.

Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Snow’s covered them every one
When will we ever learn?
When will Al ever learn?

Where have all the summers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the summers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the summers gone?
Sunspots gone every one
When will we ever learn?
When will Barack ever learn?

Where has all the consensus gone?
Long time passing
Where has all the consensus gone?
Long time ago
Where has all the consensus gone?
Gone the scientist most every one
When will we ever learn?
When will Congress ever learn?

Where have all the voters gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the voters gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the voters gone?
Gone to the Right one by one
When will we ever learn?
When will Dems ever learn?

Where have all the Liberals gone?
Too long in passing
Where have all the Liberals gone?
Not so long ago
Where have all the Liberals gone?
Out of politics every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Les: Okay, I added the last stanza.
