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 - hey


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 - yeey

Picket lines and picket signs

Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so that you can see
What's going on

What's going on
Hey, what's going on
I'll tell you 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 baby, 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
Talk to me, so that you can see
What's going on

Hey, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on


Mother, mother
Father, father

Brother, brother, brother
What's going on
