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
Hey
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 lovin' here today
Hey
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
What's going on
What's going on
Hey-ey
Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong
Hey, who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Hey
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Say, come on
Talk to me
So you can see
Hey, what's going on
What's going on
What's going on
Hey, what's going on
Hey...
