What's Going On
(M. Gaye/A. Cleveland/R. Benson, 1971)

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, hey

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, 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

Picket lines - sister
And picket signs - sister
Don't punish me - sister
With brutality - sister
Talk to me - sister
So you can see - sister
Oh, what's goin' on - what's goin' on
What's goin' on - what's goin' on
Heah, what's goin' on - what's goin' on
Oh, what's goin' on - what's goin' on
Ah ah - ay-ay-ay-ay-ay - right on
Right on - ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding
Here today, oh oh oh

Picket lines - brother
And picket signs - brother
Don't punish me - brother
With brutality - brother
Come on, talk to me - brother
So you can see - brother
Now what's goin' on - what's goin' on
Yeah, what's goin' on - what's goin' on
Tell me what's goin' on - what's goin' on,
I'll tell you now
What's goin' on - what's goin' on
Ooooh - right on - right on
Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding
Here today, oh oh oh

Picket lines - brother
And picket signs - brother
Don't punish me - brother
With brutality - brother
Come on, talk to me - brother
So you can see - brother
Now what's goin' on - what's goin' on
yeah, what's goin' on - what's goin' on
Tell me what's goin' on - what's goin' on
I'll tell you now what's goin' on
what's goin' on
Ooooh - right on
Right on - ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
