When will they ever learn??

Remember the old folk song "Where Have All the Flowers Gone"? Here is my updated version. Unfortunately, what it says reflects as much what is going on today as the original did. So put on your Peter, Paul and Mary masks and sing along...

"Where have all the oil wells gone,
 long time drilling;
 where have all the oil wells gone,
 we're running low;
 where have all the oil wells gone,
 capped by liberals everyone;
 why don't they ever learn,
 why won't they ever learn?"

"Where have all our freedoms gone,
 long time coming;
 where have all our freedoms gone,
 where did they go;
 where have all our freedoms gone,
 legislated everyone;
 why don't they ever learn,
 why won't they ever learn?"

"Where have all our leaders gone,
 long time failing;
 where have all our leaders gone,
 where did they go;
 where have all our leaders gone,
 spineless puppets everyone;
 why don't they ever learn,
 why won't they ever learn?"

"Where has our great country gone,
 long time building;
 where has our great country gone,
 where did it go;
 where has our great country gone,
 politics have done it in;
 why don't they ever learn,
 why won't they ever learn?"
