What's Going On

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
And brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dyingYou know you've got to find a way
To bring back love here todayFather, father
There's no need to escalate
Listen, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hateYou know we've got to find a way
To bring back love back here todayPicket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
And just talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on, what's going on
What's going on, what's going onMother, mother
Every body thinks we're wrong
Oh, who are they to judge us
Just because our hair is longYou know we've got to find a way
To bring back understanding todayYou know we've got to find a way
And bring back some love back here todayPicket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
And just talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on, what's going on
What's going on, I tell you what's going onOh, what's going on, what's going on
What's going on, what's going onMother, mother
Father, father
