What's Goin' On

Mother, mother
There's 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 loving here today, yeah
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 loving here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so that you can see
What's going on, what's going on
Hey, what's going on
I'll tell you, what's going on
Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause our hair is long
Oh, 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 and talk to me, so that you can see
Oh what's going on, hey what's going on
Tell me, what's going on
I'll tell you, what's going on
Mother, mother
Father, father
Brother, brother, brother
What's going on
