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
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
Oh and talk to me
So you can see
Yeah what's going on
Oh what's going on
Yeah what's going on
Oh what's going on
Mother mother
Everybody thinks to wrong
But who are they to judge us
Sing by because i hate is long
Oh 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
Oh and talk to me
So you can see
Yeah what's going on
Oh what's going on
Come on what's going on
Oh what's going on
