Mother, mother There´s too many of you crying And brother, brother, brother There´s far too many of you dying
You know you´ve got to find a way To bring back love here today
Father, father There´s no need to escalate Listen, war is not the answer For only love can conquer hate
You know we´ve got to find a way To bring back love back here today
Picket lines and picket signs Don´t punish me with brutality And just talk to me, so you can see Oh, what´s going on, what´s going on What´s going on, what´s going on
Mother, mother
Every body thinks we´re wrong Oh, who are they to judge us Just because our hair is long
You know we´ve got to find a way To bring back understanding today
You know we´ve got to find a way And bring back some love back here today
Picket lines and picket signs Don´t punish me with brutality And just talk to me, so you can see Oh, what´s going on, what´s going on What´s going on, I tell you what´s going on
Oh, what´s going on, what´s going on What´s going on, what´s going on
