Picket lines and picket signs
Donʼt punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see

Mother, mother, everybody thinks weʼre wrong
Ah but who are they to judge us
Simply ʼcos our hair is long
Ah you know weʼver got to find a way
To brind some understanding here today
Chorus:

Donʼt punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
