What's Going On

Mother, mother

There's too many of you crying

And brother, brother, brother

There's far too many of you dying

You know you've got to find a way

To bring back love here today

Father, father

There's no need to escalate

Listen, war is not the answer

For only love can conquer hate

You know we've got to find a way

To bring back love back here today

Picket 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 on

Mother, mother

Every body thinks we're wrong

Oh, who are they to judge us

Just because our hair is long

You know we've got to find a way

To bring back understanding today

You know we've got to find a way

And bring back some love back here today

Picket 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 on

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

What's going on, what's going on

Mother, mother

Father, father

Good God
