[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 lovin' here today Father, father We don’t need to escalate War is not the answer For only love can conquer hate You know we've got to find a way Bring some understanding here today [Chorus] Ah, picket lines (Sister), picket signs (Sister) Don't punish me (Sister) with brutality (Sister) Talk to me (Sister), so you can see (Sister) Oh, what's going on (What's going on?) What's going on (What's going on?) Oh, what's going on (What’s going on?) Tell me, what’s going on (What's going on?) Ooh, hoo hoo hoo (Right on, Marvin, right on) [Verse 2] Mother, mother, everybody thinks we’re wrong, baby But who are they to judge us Because our hair is long You know we've got to find a way To bring some understanding here today [Chorus] Look out, picket lines (Brother) and picket signs (Brother) Don't punish me, baby (Brother) with brutality (Brother) Come on, come on, come on (Brother), talk to me (Brother) You can see what's going on (What’s going on?)
