Verse 1
Mother, mother, there's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother, there's far too many of you dying
You know we'ver got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today, hey
Verse 2
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
Chorus
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
Yeah, what's going on, ah, what's going on
Ahhh....
Verse 3
Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong
Ah but who are they to judge us. Simply 'cos our hair is long
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Chorus
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
Yeah, what's going on, ah, what's going on
