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
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
what's going on
what's going on
what's going on
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
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
