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, eheh

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, oh oh oh

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
Yeah, what`s going on
Ah, what`s going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on brother
Right on babe

Mother, mother, everybody thinks we`re wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply `cause our hair is long
Oh, you know we`ve got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh oh oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don`t punish me with brutality
C`mon talk to me
So you can see
What`s going on

Yeah, what`s going on
Tell me what`s going on
I`ll tell you what`s going on, ooh ooo ooo ooo
Right on baby
Right on baby
