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

Hey

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

Yeah

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 got to find a way

To bring some understanding here today

Yeah

Picket lines (Brother)

And picket signs (Brother)

Don't punish (Brother)

With brutality (Brother)

Come on and talk to me (Brother)

So that you can see (Brother)

Oh what's going on?

Hey what's going on?

Tell me what's going on?

I tell you what's going on

Mother, mother

Father, father

Brother, brother, brother
