Lyrics:

Mother (mother) mother (mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, (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) 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 going on
What's going on
what's going on
what's going on


Father (father) father (father) everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
you now have got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
what's going on
what's going on
what's going on
