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, eheh 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 lovin' here today, oh oh oh 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 Uuuh, what's going on What's going on Father, father, father Everybody thinks we're wrong Oh, but who are they to judge us Just because our hair is long Oh, you know we've got to find a way To bring some understanding here today Oh oh oh Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Talk to me So you can see What's going on Uuuh, what's going on Tell me what's going on I'll tell you what's going on, ooh ooo ooo ooo 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? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on?
