"What's Going On" Lyrics

Mother mother
There's too many
Of you crying
Oh 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

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 lovin' here today

Picket lines
(Sister)
And picket signs
(Sister)
Don't punish me
(Sister)
With brutality
(Sister)
Oh and talk to me
(Sister)
So you can see yeah
(Sister)
What's going on
(What's going on)
Oh what's going on
(What's going on)
Yeah what's going on
(What's going on)
Oh what's going on
(What's going on)

Mother Mother
Everybody
Thinks we're wrong
But who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

Picket lines
(Brother)
And picket signs
(Brother)
Don't punish me
(Brother)
With brutality
(Brother)
Oh and talk to me
(Brother)
So you can see yeah
(Brother)
What's going on
(What's going on)
Oh what's going on
(What's going on)
Come on what's going on
(What's going on)
Oh what's going on
(What's going on)
