[Verse 1: Bono. Chris Martin]
Mother, Mother
It's too many of you crying
Brother, Brother, Brother
It's far too many of you dying
You know you've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here to stay

[Verse 2: Bono, Chris Martin]
Father, Father
We don't need to escalate
And 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 to stay

[Chorus: Chris Martin, Bono]
Picket lines won't block our way
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, and you can see
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?

[Verse 3: Bono, Chris Martin]
Father, Father, everybody thinks we're wrong
But who are they to judge us?
Together we can be strong
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here to stay
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Picket lines won't block our way
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?
What's going on, what's going on?
What's going on, what's going on?
