What’s Going On

[Verse 1] 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, hey 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, yeah [Chorus] Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Talk to me, so that you can see What's going on What's going on Hey, what's going on I'll tell you what's going on... [Verse 2] Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong Oh, but who are they to judge us Simply 'cause our hair is long Oh, you know we've got to find a way To bring some understanding here today Hey [Chorus] Picket lines (Brother) and picket signs (Brother) Don't punish me (Brother) with brutality (Brother) Come on and talk to me (Brother) So that you can see (Brother) Oh, what's going on (What's going on) Hey, what's going on (What's going on) Tell me what's going on (What's going on) I'll tell you what's going on... [Outro] Mother, mother Father, father Brother, brother, brother What's going on...
