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
Mmm, 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
Come on, talk to me
So that you can see
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
Oh, ah la la la
Father
Everybody thinks we're wrong
But who are they to judge us
Simply cuz our hair is long
We've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Come on, talk to me
So that you can see
What's going on
What's going on
I'll tell you what's going on
What's going on
Mercy, mercy me
Bop bah dah dah daht
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
Picket signs, picket lines
Come on, talk to me
So that you can see
Mmm ooh woh oh
Mmm
What's going on
Oh oh oh oh oh
Father, father, what's going on
Oh, oh, oh
Hey ya, what's, what's going on
