Frankie Gaye - What's Going On lyrics

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, yeah 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 signs and picket lines Don't punish me with brutality Talk to me so we can see What's goin' on, what's goin' on Hey, what's goin' on, what's goin' on 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 understandin' here today, oh Picket signs and picket lines Don't punish me with brutality Come on, talk to me so we can see Oh, what's goin' on, what's goin' on Hey, what's goin' on, what's goin' on
