What's Going On lyrics

Mother, mother There's far 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, yeah, yeah Father, father We don't need to escalate War is not the answer Only love can conquer hate You know we've got to find a way, yes we do To bring some loving here today, oh, oh 'Cause picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Come on talk to me, so you can see What's going on What's going on Yeah, what's going on Mother, mother Everybody thinks we're wrong Who are they to judge us Simply 'cause our hair is long? Oh, Lord, you know we've got to find a way To bring some understanding And some love right here today 'Cause picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Come on talk to me, so you can see What's going on What's going on Yeah, what's going on What's going on
