We'vе got to find a way To bring some understanding here today, oh-oh [Chorus] Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Come on, talk to me, so you can see What's going on What's going on Tell me what's going on I'll tell you what's going on [Post-Chorus] Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah [Outro] Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah-ah
