Lyrics

[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
[Verse 2]
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
War is not the answer
Only love will conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today, oh
[Verse 3]
Picket lines (Sister), picket signs (Sister)
Don't punish me (Sister) with brutality (Sister)
Talk to me (Sister), so you can see (Sister)
What's going on, what's going on (Yeah)
What's going on, what's going on (Tell me)
[Verse 4]
Tell me, tell me (Tell me)
Tell me, tell me what's going on
Tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me what's going on
[Verse 5]
B-b-baby
Set 'em all free
Ooh, ooh, baby
Yeah (Ooh)
[Verse 6]
Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
But who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause our hair is long?
You know we've got to find a way (Got to find a way)
To bring some understanding here today, oh
[Verse 7]
Picket lines (Brother), picket signs (Brother)
Don't punish me (Brother) with brutality (Brother)
Talk to me (Brother), so you can see (Brother)
What's going on (Tell me), what's going on
What's going on, what's going on
[Verse 8]
Tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me (Tell me what's going on)
Tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me (Tell me, yeah)
[Verse 9]
My people (What's going on)
My people (Oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
