What's Going On Songtext
Mother, Mother
There's too many of you crying
Mm, Brother, Brother, Brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some love in here today
Father, Father
We don't need to escalate
Oh, you see, war is not the answer
Only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some love in here today
Picket lines (Sister)
With picket signs (Sister)
Don't punish me (Sister)
With brutality (Sister)
You could talk to me (Sister)
So you can see (Sister)
Oh, 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?)
Yeah, what's going on? (What's going on?)
Oooh, baby
Oooh, baby
Oooh, oooh, baby
Na, na, na, na
Mother, Mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
But who are they to judge us?
Simply cause our hair is long, oh, oh, ooh
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Picket lines (Sister)
With picket signs (Sister)
Don't punish me (Sister)
With brutality (Sister)
You could talk to me (Sister)
So you can see (Sister)
Oh, 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?)
Yeah, what's going on? (What's going on?)
There's too many of you crying
Mm, Brother, Brother, Brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some love in here today
Father, Father
We don't need to escalate
Oh, you see, war is not the answer
Only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some love in here today
Picket lines (Sister)
With picket signs (Sister)
Don't punish me (Sister)
With brutality (Sister)
You could talk to me (Sister)
So you can see (Sister)
Oh, 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?)
Yeah, what's going on? (What's going on?)
Oooh, baby
Oooh, baby
Oooh, oooh, baby
Na, na, na, na
