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
This dont need to escalate
You see, 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
Picket lines and picket signs
Dont punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, whats going on?
Whats going on?
Whats going on, yeah?

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks were wrong
Who are they to judge us
Just because our hair is long
You know weve got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
You know weve got to find a way
To bring some lovin here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Dont punish me with brutality
But just talk to me
So you can see
