Donny Hathaway — What's Going On lyrics

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
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
Picket lines, picket signs
Don’t you punish me, brutality
Talk to me So you can see
What’s going on, hey,
What’s going on,
I wanna know what’s going on Ohhh…
Mother, mother, mother
Everybody says that wer’e wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us Simply because our hair is long
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Picket lines, picket signs
Don’t you punish me, brutality
Talk to me So you can see
What’s going on, hey,
What’s going on,
I wanna know what’s going on Ohh.
What’s goin' on.
What’s goin' on.
Tell me.
Ohh.
I wanna know what’s going on.
