"What's Going On" lyrics

"What's Going On"

Mother, mother
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother
Brother, brother
Far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today

Father, father
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 you can see

Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Yeah, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

Father, father
Everybody thinks we're wrong
But who are they to judge us?
Simply because our hair is long
You know we've got to find a way
To bring 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
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
