What's Going On - Club Version
Father, father
There's no 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 back loving here today
Picket lines
And picket signs
Don't punish me
With brutality
Just talk to me
So you can see
Hey, what's going on
What's going on? (What's going on?)
What's going on? (What's going on?)
Yeah, what's going on? (What's going on?)
Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Who are they to judge us
Just because our hair is long
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding today
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here to day
Picket lines (sister)
And picket signs (sister)
Don't punish me (sister)
With brutality (sister)
Now just talk to me (sister)
So you can see
What's going on? (What's going on?)
Oh, what's going on
Tell me what's going on? (What's going on?)
What's going on? (What's going on?)
Yeah, yeah

I'll tell you what's going on
You tell me what's going on
Father, father
There's too many of you dying
Yeah
Mother, mother
There's far too many of you crying
What's going on? (What's going on?)
What's going on? (What's going on?)
