Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying-
You know we've got to find a way

You see, 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 oh~~
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see

Simply because our hair is long
