Lyrics

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 lovin' here today

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
Because only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today, oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Just talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on, yeah

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Well, 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 understanding here today
Picket lines and protest signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Just talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on, yeah
