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
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
We don't need to escalate
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
Come on,
Talk to me
So you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
Mother, mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
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
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
