"What's Going On" Lyrics

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 that love here today

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

Picket lines (brother) and picket signs (brother)
Don't punish me (brother) with brutality (brother)
Just talk to me (brother) so you can see
Oh what's going on (What's going on?)
What's going on? (What's going on?)
What's going on? (What's going on?)
Yeah, What's going on? (What's going on?)

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
But who are they to judge us
Just because our hair is long?
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding today

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh

You know we've got to find a way
To bring back lovin' here today

Picket lines (sister) and picket signs (sister)
Don't punish me (sister) with brutality (sister)
Just talk to me (sister) so you can see
What's going on
What's going on? (What's going on?)
What's going on? (What's going on?)
Oh, tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on

What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?
Yeah, yeah
What's going on?
Yeah, you tell me, I tell you
You tell me, I tell you
What's going on? Oh
Father, mother
Father, father
Yeah, what's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?
I tell you what's going on
You tell me what's going on
Oh, father, father
