Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Three Dog Night or about the 1970s in general.

People who lose their souls,
They’ll keep their sadly abused containers,
Are walking through with nothing.
Life in disguise is worthy of limbo and not to be shared.
No answers, no help are accepted in their funnel of fools.
I cannot give empathy when it’s without a cause.
Help us find a cause on your behalf,
For all and peace of mind.

All we need but it’s so hard to find
Is some peace, peace of mind
All we need but it’s so hard to find
Is some peace, peace of mind

When the fathers and the mothers fight all the time
Leave the sisters and the brothers no time to rhyme
To the left, to the right
So far apart
With so much to consider, no time for the heart
Time for the heart
All we need but it’s so hard to find
All we need is Peace of mind
All we need but it’s so hard to find
All we need is peace of mind.
