What's Going On

Listen to me, listen to me

Mother, mother, there's too many of you crying

Brother, brother, brother, there's too many of you dying

You know we've got to find a way

To bring some lovin' here today, here today

Father, father, we don't need to escalate

For war is not the answer

For only love can conquer hate

You know we've got to find a way

To bring some understandin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs

Don't punish me with brutality

Come on, talk to me, so you can see

What's going on

What's going on

What's going on

What's going on

Father, father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong

But who are they to judge us

Simply because our hair is long

You know, you know we've got to find a way

To bring some understanding here today

Picket lines and picket signs

Don't punish me with brutality

Come on, sing to me, so you can see

What's going on

What's going on

What's going on

What's going on

Listen to me, brother, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

What's going on, yeah
