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 - Ya
Father, 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
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 Ya, what's going on Ah, what's going on
In the meantime Right on baby Right on, right on
Father, father Everybody thinks we're wrong Oh, but who are they to judge us Simply because our hair is long Oh, you got to find a way To bring some understanding here today
Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Come on, talk to me So you can see
What's going on Ya, what's going on Tell me, what's going on I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
