Mother, mother
Theres too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother, theres far too many of you dying
You know weve got to find a way
To bring some lovin here today
Father, father
We dont need to escalate
War is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know weve got to find a way
To bring some lovin here today, oh oh oh
Picket lines and picket signs
Dont punish me with brutality
But talk to me, so you can see
Whats going on
Whats going on
Whats going on
Whats going on
Mother, mother, everybody thinks were wrong
But who are they to judge us
Simply cause our hair is long
Weve got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Dont punish me with brutality
But talk to me
So you can see
Whats going on
