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 - Ya
Father, father We don't need to escalate
You see, 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
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
Ya, what's going on Ah, what's going on
(some sort of break or interlude)
In the mean time Right on, baby Right on Right on
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see Oh!
What's going on Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby
To get the exact rythm and "spacing" of the lyrics,
my advice is to just listen to the song!!!
