"What's Going 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 lovin' here today
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
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, oh oh oh
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
But talk to me, so you can see
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong
But who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause our hair is long
We've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
But talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
