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

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, oh oh oh

Picket lines and picket signs

Don't punish me with brutality

But talk to me, so you can see

What's going on

What's going on

What's going on

What's going on

♪ ♪ ♪

Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong

♪ ♪ ♪

But who are they to judge us

Simply 'cause our hair is long

We've got to find a way

To bring some understanding here today

Picket lines and picket signs

Don't punish me with brutality

But talk to me

So you can see

What's going on

What's going on

What's going on

What's going on
