What's Going On |
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 — Ya |
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 |
Picket lines and picket signs |
Don’t punish me with brutality |
Talk to me, so you can see |
Oh, what’s going on |
What’s going on |
Ya, what’s going on |
Ah, what’s going on |
In the mean time |
Right on, baby |
Right on |
Right on |
Father, father, 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 |
Picket lines and picket signs |
Don’t punish me with brutality |
Talk to me |
So you can see |
What’s going on |
Ya, what’s going on |
Tell me what’s going on |
I’ll tell you what’s going on — Uh |
Right on baby |
Right on baby |
