What's Going On

[Intro]

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 loving here today

[Verse 1]

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 loving here today

[Chorus]

Picket lines and picket signs

Don't punish me with brutality

Oh, talk to me, so you can see

Oh, what's going on

What's going on

Yeah, what's going on

Ah, what's going on

[Verse 2]

Mother, mother 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

[Chorus]

Picket lines and picket signs

Don't punish me with brutality

Oh, talk to me

So you can see

Ah, what's going on

Yeah, what's going on
