[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've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today, ooh

[Verse 2]
Father, father
We know that we don't need
We don't need to escalate
'Cause war is not the answer
'Cause only love, only love, only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today, ooh

[Chorus]
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Come on now, talk to me
Can't you see what's going on?
Tell me whats going on?
Tell me whats going on?
Can't you tell me, tell me what's going on? Oh

[Verse 3]
Mother, mother
Everybody, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our, our hair is long?
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today, oh-oh

[Chorus]
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
'Cause that man can't breathe
Come on, just talk to me
Can't you see what's going on?
Tell me whats going on?
Someone tell me whats going on?
Can't we see, can't we see whats going on?
Ooh-ooh
