You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today, yeah
Father, father, we don't need to escalate
War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today, yeah
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
