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 loving here today
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 loving 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,
Yeah, what´s going on,
Ah, what´s going on,
In the mean time,
Right on, baby,
Right on, Right on
Father, father, everybody thinks we´re wrong,
Oh, but who are they to judge us?,
Simply because our hair is long,
Oh, you know we´ve got to find a way,
To bring some understanding here today, Oh
Picket lines and picket signs,
Don´t punish me with brutality,
Talk to me,
So you can see,
What´s going on,
Yeah, what´s going on,
Tell me what´s going on,
I´ll tell you what´s going on,
Right on baby, Right on baby
