[Verse 1]
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today, yeah
[Verse 2]
Father, father
We don't 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 some loving here today, oh
[Verse 3]
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Yeah, what's going on
Oh, what's going on
[Verse 4]
In the meantime
Right on, baby
Right on, right on
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Right on, baby
Right on
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause our hair is long?
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understand here today, oh
[Verse 6]
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Come on, talk to me so you can see
What's going on
Yeah, what's going on
Tell me, what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on, ooh
[Verse 7]
Right on, baby
Right on, right on
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Right on, baby
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Right on, baby
Come on, right on
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
