Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
Far too many of you die
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
War is not the answer
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
What's goin' on
What's goin' on
What's goin' on
What's goin' on
Father, father, everybody 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
To bring understandin' here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's goin' on
What's goin' on
What's goin' on
What's goin' on
