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 loving, loving here today
Yeah

Oh my father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
Conquer hate
You know, we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today

Barricades, sister
Can't block our way, sister
Don't punish me, sister
With brutality, sister
Talk to me, sister
And you can see, sister

Oh, what's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on

Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Tell me
What's goin' on in the world today
I'd rather be dead than to turn my head away
We got this first world vision
Too comfy to lift up our hands in the air
And cry for a switch

Father, father
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Together we can all be strong
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

Barricades, brother
Can't block our way, brother
Don't punish me, brother
With brutality, brother
Baby, talk to me, brother
So you can see

What's going on
What's going on
Tell me what's going on
What's going on

Yeah, hey, what's going on
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah, oh yeah yeah
Oh baby
What's going on
Yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
