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 loving here today

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 loving here today

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,

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,
To bring some understanding here today, Oh

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,
