Mother, mother
There's far 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
Oh, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know though we've got to find a way
To bring some understandin' here today

Picket in line, picket in sign
Don't punish me with brutality
Come to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on, what's going on?
Hey, what's going on
Oh, what's going on

Mother, mother
Everybody thinkin' we're wrong
But who are they to judge us
Simply because of our hair is long
You know know we've got to find a way
Bring some understanding here today

Picket in line and picket in sign
Don't punish me with brutality
Come on, talk to me you can see
What's going on? What's going on?
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on
Right on baby
