What's Going On
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
And brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know you've got to find a way
To bring back love here today
Father, father
There's no need to escalate
Listen, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring back love back here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
And just talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on, what's going on
What's going on, what's going on
Mother, mother
Every body thinks we're wrong
Oh, who are they to judge us
Just because our hair is long
You know we've got to find a way
To bring back understanding today
You know we've got to find a way
And bring back some love back here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
And just talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on, what's going on
What's going on, I tell you what's going on
Oh, what's going on, what's going on
What's going on, what's going on
Mother, mother
Father, father
Good God
There's too many of you crying
And brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know you've got to find a way
To bring back love here today
Father, father
There's no need to escalate
Listen, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring back love back here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
And just talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on, what's going on
What's going on, what's going on
Mother, mother
Every body thinks we're wrong
Oh, who are they to judge us
Just because our hair is long
You know we've got to find a way
To bring back understanding today
You know we've got to find a way
And bring back some love back here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
And just talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on, what's going on
What's going on, I tell you what's going on
Oh, what's going on, what's going on
What's going on, what's going on
Mother, mother
Father, father
Good God
