Mother, mother
|
There's too many of you crying
|
And brother, brother, brother
|
There's far too many of you dying
|
|
You know you've got to find a way
|
To bring back love here today
|
|
Father, father
|
There's no need to escalate
|
Listen, war is not the answer
|
For only love can conquer hate
|
|
You know we've got to find a way
|
To bring back love back here today
|
|
Picket lines and picket signs
|
Don't punish me with brutality
|
And just talk to me, so you can see
|
Oh, what's going on, what's going on
|
What's going on, what's going on
|
|
Mother, mother
|
Every body thinks we're wrong
|
Oh, who are they to judge us
|
Just because our hair is long
|
|
You know we've got to find a way
|
To bring back understanding today
|
|
You know we've got to find a way
|
And bring back some love back here today
|
|
Picket lines and picket signs
|
Don't punish me with brutality
|
And just talk to me, so you can see
|
Oh, what's going on, what's going on
|
What's going on, I tell you what's going on
|
|
Oh, what's going on, what's going on
|
What's going on, what's going on
|
|
Mother, mother
|
Father, father
|
Good God
|
