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
You see war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know you've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today
Picket lines, picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me so you can see
Oh what's going on?
What's going on?
Yeah what's going on?
What's going on?
Mother, mother
Every body thinks we're wrong
But who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause our hair is long
You know we've got to find a way
Bring some understanding here today
Picket lines, picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Come on talk to me, you can see
What's going on?
Yeah what's going on?
Tell me, what's going on?
I tell you what's going on?
