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 - Ya 

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 

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 
Ya, what's going on 
Ah, what's going on 

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

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong 
Oh, but who are they to judge us 
Simply because our hair is long 
Oh, 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 
Ya, what's going on 
Tell me what's going on 
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh 
Right on baby 
Right on baby
