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 - Ya


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
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on


In the mean time
Right on, baby

Right on
Right on


Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long

Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh


Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality

Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on

Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh

Right on baby
Right on baby
