What's Going On

[Intro]

Mother, mother

There's too many of you crying

And brother, brother, brother

There's far too many of you dying

You know you've got to find a way

To bring back love here today

[Verse 1]

Father, father

There's no 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 back lovin' here today

[Pre-Chorus]

Picket lines (Brother)

And picket signs (Brother)

Don't punish me (Brother)

With brutality (Brother)

Just talk to me (Brother)

So you can see

[Chorus]

Ah, what's going on

What's going on

What's going on, yeah

What's going on

[Post-Chorus]

[Non-lyrical Vocals]

[Verse 2]

Mother, mother

Everybody thinks we're wrong

Who are they to judge us

Just because our hair is long?

You know we've got to find a way

To bring back understanding today

[Bridge]

Ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ha

Ah-ah, ah-ah

You know we've got to find a way

To bring back some lovin' here today

[Pre-Chorus]

Picket lines (Sister)

And picket signs (Sister)

Don't punish me (Sister)

With brutality (Sister)

Now just talk to me (Sister)

So you can see

[Chorus]

What's going on

What's going on

Oh, what's going on

Tell me, what's going on?

[Post-Chorus]

[Non-Lyrical Vocals]

[Outro]

What's going on

What's going on

What's going on

Yeah, yeah

What's going on, yeah

You tell me, I'll tell you

You tell me, I'll tell you

What's going on, ah

Mother, mother

Father, father, yeah

What's going on

What's going on

I'll tell you what's going on

You tell me what's going on, ah

Father, father

There's too many of you dying...
