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 go to find a way to bring some loving here today Father, father
We don't need to escalate
War is not the answer
Only love will conquer hate
You know we go to find a way to bring some loving here today
Picket lines (sister), picket signs (sister)
Don't punish me (sister) with brutality (sister) Talk to me, so you can see

What's goin on - what's going on - what's going on - what's going on
(Tell me - tell me) what's going on (tell me - tell me) what's going on
Mother, mother
Everybody think we're wrong
But who are they to judge us
Simply cause our hair long
You know we go to find a way to bring some understanding here today
Picket lines (brother), picket signs (brother)
Don't punish me (brother) with brutality (brother)
Talk to me, so you can see

What's goin on - what's going on - what's going on - what's going on
(Tell me - tell me) what's going on (tell me - tell me) what's going on
(My people) What's going on - (My people) What's going on
