Mother, mother, there´s too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother, there´s far too many of you dying
You know we´ver got to find a way
To bring some lovin´ here today, hey
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
To bring some lovin´ here today
CHORUS #1:
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
Yeah, what´s going on, ah, what´s going on
Ahhh....
Mother, mother, everybody thinks we´re wrong
Ah but who are they to judge us
Simply ´cos our hair is long
Ah you know we´ver got to find a way
To brind some understanding here today
CHORUS #2:
Picket lines and picket signs
Don´t punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
What´s going on, yeah what´s going on
Tell me what´s going on, I´ll tell you what´s going on
What's Going On
