Lyrics

mother, mother, there's too many of you crying, brother, brother, brother, there's far too many of you dying, picket lines and picket signs, don't punish me with brutality, come on, talk to me, so you can see, yes, what's going on, what's going on, yeah, father, father, we don't need to escalate, war is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate, picket lines and picket signs, don't punish me with brutality, come on, talk to me, so you can see, what's going on, what's going on, what's going on, what's going on, what's going on, what's a-going on, what's going on, father, father, father, father, father, father, who are they to say we're wrong?, who are they to judge us, simply 'cause our hair is long?, picket lines and picket signs, don't punish me with brutality, come on, talk to me, so you can see, yeah, what's going on, what's going on, what's going on, what's going on, what's going on, what's going on, yeah, what's going on
