What's Going On

Al Cleveland / Marvin Gaye / Renaldo Benson

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
You see
War is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we 've got to find a way
To bring back lovin' here today

Picket lines (brother)
And picket signs (brother)
Don't punish me with brutality (brother)
Just talk to me (brother)
So you can see (brother)

What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on

Mother, mother
Ev'ry body thinks we're wrong
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

I'll tell you what's going on
You tell me what's going on
