Mother, mother

There's too many of you crying

Brother, brother, brother

There's far too many of you dying

You know that we've got to find a way

To bring some lovin' here today, eh eh



Father, father father

We don't need to escalate

War is not the answer

For only love can conquer hate

You know that we've got to find a way

To bring some lovin' here today



Picket signs and Picket lines

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

Yeah, what's going 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 signs and Picket lines

Don't punish me with brutality

Talk to me

So you can see

What's going on

What's going on

What's going on

What's going on

Tell me what's going on

What's going on

What's going on

What's going on



What's going on
