[Verse 1]
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 (You know we've got to find a way)
To bring lovin' here today
Father, 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 (You know we've got to find a way)
To bring lovin' here today

[Chorus]
Picket lines (Picket lines)
And picket signs (Picket signs)
Don't punish me (Don't punish me)
With brutality (With brutality)
Talk to me (Talk to me)
So you can see (So you can see)
Hey, what's going on (What's going on?)
What's going on (What's going on?)
Tell me, what's going on (What's going on?)
What's going on (What's going on?)
[Verse 2]
Father, father, 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 (You know we've got to find a way)
To bring some loving here today

[Chorus]
Picket lines (Picket lines)
And picket signs (Picket signs)
Don't punish me (Don't punish me)
With brutality (With brutality)
Talk to me (Talk to me)
So you can see (So you can see)
Hey, what's going on? (What's going on?)
What's going on? (What's going on?)
Tell me, what's going on? (What's going on?)
What's going on? (What's going on?)
What's going on?
What's going on?
