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

Father, father

We don't need to escalate

War is not the answer

For only love can conquer hate

You know you've got to find a way

To bring some understanding yeah today

Aw, picket lines, picket signs

Don't punish me with brutality

Talk to me so you can see

Oh what's going on,

Tell me what's going on

Mother, mother

Ev'ry body thinks we're wrong

Baby who are they to judge us

'Cause our hair is long

You know we've got to find a way

To bring some understanding here today

Good God
