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

Mother, mother
Father, father
Good God
