Mother, mother
Theres too many of you crying
And brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know you've got to find a way
To bring love here today
Father, father
There's no 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 back lovin' heretoday
Picket lines
And picket signs
Dont punish me with brutality
Just 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
Ev'ry body thinks we're wrong
Who are they to judge us
Just because our hair is long
You know we've got to find a way
To bring back understandingtoday
I'll tell you what's going on
You tell me what's going on
