Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Mother, mother
Dear women, dear women
There's too many of you crying
There are a large number of you feeling sorrow
Brother, brother, brother
Dear men, dear men, dear men
There's far too many of you dying
There are an excessive amount of you losing your lives
You know we've got to find a way
It is essential for us to discover a solution
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya
To introduce some love in this present moment - Yes
Father, father
Dear men, dear men
We don't need to escalate
We do not need to intensify the situation
You see, war is not the answer
You understand, conflict is not the solution
For only love can conquer hate
Because only affection can overcome animosity
Picket lines and picket signs
Protest lines and protest signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Do not subject me to cruelty as a punishment
Talk to me, so you can see
Engage in conversation with me, so you can understand
Oh, what's going on
Oh, what is happening
In the mean time
In the meantime
Right on, baby
Absolutely right, my dear
Right on
Absolutely right
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Dear men, dear men, everybody believes we are mistaken
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Oh, but who are they to evaluate us
Simply because our hair is long
Just because our hair is of considerable length
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
Oh, you are aware that we must discover a solution
To bring some understanding here today
To introduce some comprehension in this present moment
Picket lines and picket signs
Protest lines and protest signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Do not subject me to cruelty as a punishment
Talk to me
Engage in conversation with me
So you can see
So you can understand
What's going on
What is happening
Ya, what's going on
Yes, what is happening
Tell me what's going on
Inform me of what is happening
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
I will inform you of what is happening - Expression of uncertainty

The 00's and early 10's were like a non-stop party, but now it seems like the party ended and now we're all depressed.
@fanonchannel1960
And replaced with trap nonsense.
Edit: seems like I upset a lot people here. Lol get over yourselves. 🤣

@howieboelky
That's what happens when we fly high for a decade then crash! Heard of blue Monday, that's what it will be like for the rest of our lives! Also after the 00's through the 10's I definitely see life in a completely different view 🤔♥️
