Mother mother

There's too many of you crying

Brother brother brother

There's far to many of you dying

You know we've got to find the way

To bring some lovin' here today

Father father

We don't need to escalate

To see war is not the answer

For only love can conquer hate

You know we've got to find a way

To bring some understanding yeah today

Picket lines picket signs

Don't punish me with brutality

Just talk to me so you can see

Oh what's going on

What's going on

What's going on

I tell you what's going on

Father father

Every body thinks we're wrong

But who are they to judge us

'Cause our hair is long

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

Just talk to me so you can see

Oh what's going on

What's going on

What's going on

I tell you what's going on

What's going on

What's going on

What's going on

I tell you what's going on

Mother mother

Need to bring some lovin' here today

Father father

Bring some lovin' here today
