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 loving 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 loving 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 baby
Right on baby
Right on
Mother mother 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
Right on
Right on baby
Right on
