Picket lines and picket signs
And just talk to me, so you can see
You know we've got to find a way
To bring back love here today
Father, father
Oh, what's going on, what's going on
And bring back some love back here today
And brother, brother, brother
Oh, what's going on, what's going on
Mother, mother
You know we've got to find a way
Father, father
What's going on, what's going on
Oh, what's going on, what's going on
There's far too many of you dying
To bring back love back here today
Picket lines and picket signs
To bring back understanding today
What's going on, I tell you what's going on
Don't punish me with brutality
What's going on, what's going on
Don't punish me with brutality
Just because our hair is long
And just talk to me, so you can see
Listen, war is not the answer
Oh, who are they to judge us
Mother, mother
There's no need to escalate
You know you've got to find a way
You know we've got to find a way
Every body thinks we're wrong
For only love can conquer hate
