Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
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
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on
In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby

Dude, I love that song. But I don't think it's underrated :\
ReplyDeleteIf anything, a Cyndi Lauper cover a song officially makes something NOT underrated.
When this played at my cousin's wedding, I really listened to it for the first time.
ReplyDeleteEspecially the lines,
"Talk to me/ So you can see..."
Before we can understand each other, (because I also love "Oh, you know we've got to find a way/ To bring some understanding here today"), we need communication and the willingness to listen.
If all the world leaders just... sat together, listened and shared, and opened their minds... we could have peace.
