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 to stay

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
And 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 to stay
Picket lines won't block our way

Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, and you can see
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
But who are they to judge us
Together we can be strong

You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here to stay
Picket lines won't block our way
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
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
