The Flowers Hate Us by Leonard Cohen
Performed by
Leonard CohenThe Flowers Hate Us Annotated
the flowers hate us
the animals pray for our death
as soon as i found out
i murdered my dog
now i knew what they were up to
the daisy the iris the rose
why there was no peace among men
why nothing worked
there is no going back
throw out your friend's bouquet
kill the animals all of them
but don't eat their meat
now that i know what they're thinking
their sex organs in the air
their stinking fur
and their tug at the heart
what they would do to us if they won
how great it will be without them
just getting on with our short lives
which are longer than theirs
and until now, sadder
the flowers hate us
the animals pray for us to die
as soon as i found out
i murdered my dog
They hate us
They pray for us to die
Wake up America
Murder your dog
