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...
