Lyrics

Mother, mother There's too many of you crying And brother, brother, brother There's far too many of you dying You know you've got to find a way To bring back love here today Father, father There's no 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 back lovin' here today Picket lines (brother) And picket signs (brother) Don't punish me (brother) With brutality (brother) Just talk to me (brother) So you can see Hey, what's going on What's going on What's going on What's going on What's going on Mother, mother Everybody thinks we're wrong Who are they to judge us Just because our hair is long You know we've got to find a way To bring back understanding today You know we've got to find a way To bring back some lovin' here today Picket lines (sister) And picket signs (sister) Don't punish me (sister) With brutality (sister) Now just talk to me (sister) So you can see What's going on What's going on Oh, what's going on I'll tell you what's going on What's going on What's going on What's going on Yeah, yeah What's going on Yeah Mother, mother Father, father Yeah What's going on What's going on I'll tell you what's going on You tell me what's going on Father, father There's too many of you dying Yeah Mother, mother There's too many of you crying
