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, yeah

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)
What's going on (What's going on)
What's going on (What's going on)
What's going on (What's going on)
Right on, baby
Right on, baby
Right on

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

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)
Yeah, what's going on (What's going on)
Tell me what's going on (What's going on)
I'll tell you, what's going on (What's going on)
Right on, baby, right on
Right on, baby
Right on, baby, right on

Sir Barry Gibb wrote a lot of great songs for a lot of great artists.

"As a songwriter, he shares with John Lennon and Paul McCartney the record for most consecutive Billboard Hot 100 number ones, each having six. In total, he has written or co-written sixteen Billboard Hot 100 number ones."

Also a writer with his brothers of the only song to come with a, "-------- Free Pass"!

And Now for Something Completely Different:

- a, "-------- Free Pass"!

"Weather Report was a pioneering American jazz fusion band (1970"1986) co-led by Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter, known for hits like "Birdland" and albums such as Heavy Weather.

While they featured virtuoso bassist Jaco Pastorius, the band is distinct from the North Texas State University Lab Band, which recorded under director Leon Breeden in the 1970s." (Rogers' alma mater as I recall.)

There was some good jazz fusion bands who influenced pop from the late 70s, early 80s.
