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 loving here today, yeah

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

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

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

Picket lines and picket signs

Don't punish me with brutality

Come on and talk to me, so that you can see

Oh what's going on, hey what's going on

Tell me, what's going on

I'll tell you, what's going on

Mother, mother

Father, father

Brother, brother, brother

What's going on
