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 lovin' here today - Ya
|
|
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 and picket signs
|
Don't punish me with brutality
|
Talk to me, so you can see
|
Oh, what's going on
|
What's going on
|
Ya, what's going on
|
Ah, what's going on
|
|
In the mean time
|
Right on, baby
|
Right on
|
Right on
|
|
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
|
Oh, 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
|
Oh
|
|
Picket lines and picket signs
|
Don't punish me with brutality
|
Talk to me
|
So you can see
|
What's going on
|
Ya, what's going on
|
Tell me what's going on
|
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
|
Right on baby
|
Right on baby
|
|

What's Going On
