Mother, mother There's too many of you crying Brother, brother 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 War is not the answer 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 What's going on What's going on What's going on What's going on
Father, father everybody thinks we're wrong But who are they to judge us Simply 'cause our hair is long You know we've got to find a way To bring understanding here today
Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Talk to me So you can see What's going on What's going on What's going on What's going on
