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 today -

Yeahhh 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 lovin' 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
Ya, 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 'cause our hair is long?
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Ohhhh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Come on, talk to me so you can see
Ahh what's going on
Yeah, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on -
Oohhhh Right on baby
Right on baby
