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
Father, father We don't need to escalate 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
What's going on, what's going on.
Mother, mother Everybody thinks we're wrong But who are they to judge us Simply because our hair is long You know we've got to find a way To bring some understanding here today
Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Talk to me, you can see Oh what's going on, what's going on
