What's Going On

Mother, mother

There's far 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 lovin' here today ya

Father, father

We don't need to escalate

Oh, war is not the answer

'Cause only love can conquer hate

You know though we've got to find a way

Bring some understandin' here today

Picket in sign, picket in line

Don't punish me with brutality

Come on talk to me, you will see

Oh, what's going on

What's going on?

Tell me, what's going on

I tell you, what's going on

Father, father

Everybody thinkin' we're wrong

Who are they to judge us

Simply because of our hair is long

You know know we've got to find a way

Bring some understanding here today

Picket in sign and picket in line

Don't punish me with brutality

Talk to me you will see

What's going on?

What's going on?

Tell me what's going on

I'll tell you what's going on

Right on baby

What's going on?

What's going on?

What's going on?

What's going on?

Father, father

What's going on?

Father, father
