Mother, mother
(Mother, mother)
There's too many of you cryin'
Brother, brother
(Brother, brother)
Far too many of you dyin'
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Father, father
(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
(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 understanding 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
