Song by Chaka Kahn<br /><br>

Mother, mother, there_s too many of you crying <br>

Brother, brother, brother, there_s far too many of you dying <br>

You know we_ver got to find a way <br>

To bring some lovin_ here today, hey <br>

<br>

Father, father, we don_t need to escalate <br>

War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate <br>

You know we_ve got to find a way <br>

To bring some lovin_ here today <br>

<br>

CHORUS #1: <br>

Picket lines and picket signs <br>

Don_t punish me with brutality <br>

Talk to me, so you can see <br>

Oh what_s going on, what_s going on <br>

Yeah, what_s going on, ah, what_s going on <br>

Ahhh.... <br>

<br>

Mother, mother, everybody thinks we_re wrong <br>

Ah but who are they to judge us <br>

Simply _cos our hair is long <br>

Ah you know we_ver got to find a way <br>

To brind some understanding here today <br>

<br>

CHORUS #2: <br>

Picket lines and picket signs <br>

Don_t punish me with brutality <br>

Talk to me, so you can see <br>

What_s going on, yeah what_s going on <br>

Tell me what_s going on, I_ll tell you what_s going on<br>

<br>
