theres too many of you crying
brother brother brother
theres far too many of you dying
you know you've got to find a way
to bring some lovin here today

father father
we dont need to escalate
war is not the answer
for only love can conquer hate
you know you've got to find a way
to bring some understanding yeah today

aw picket lines picket signs
dont punish me with brutality
talk to me so you can see
oh whats going on
tell me whats going on

mother mother
ev'ry body thinks we're wrong
baby who are they to judge us
cause are hair is long
you know we've got to find a way
to bring some understanding here today
