Lyrics

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, yeah 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) What's going on (What's going on) What's going on (What's going on) What's going on (What's going on) Right on, baby Right on, baby Right on Mother, mother Everybody thinks we're wrong Oh, but who are they to judge us Simply 'cause our hair is long Oh, 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 Come on talk to me So you can see What's going on (What's going on) Yeah, what's going on (What's going on) Tell me what's going on (What's going on) I'll tell you, what's going on (What's going on) Right on, baby, right on Right on, baby Right on, baby, right on
