Bono: Mother, mother 

There's too many of you crying 



Chris: Brother, brother, brother 

There's too many of you dying

You know you've got to find a way 

To bring some lovin' here to stay 



Bono: Father, father We don't need to escalate 

And war is not the answer

For only love can conquer hate 



Chris: You know we've got to find a way 

To bring some lovin' here to stay 

Picket lines won't block our way 



Bono: Don't punish me with brutality

Talk to me, and you can see

What's going on What's going on 

What's going on What's going on 

Father, father, 

everybody thinks we're wrong 

But who are they to judge us 

Together we can be strong

 

Chris: You know we've got to find a way 

To bring some lovin' here to stay 

Picket lines won't block our way 

Don't punish me with brutality 

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 going on 

What's going on, What's going on
