Michael McDonald › Lyrics › What's Goin' On

Mother, mother
There's far 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 ya

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
Oh, war is not the answer
'Cause only love can conquer hate
You know though we've got to find a way
Bring some understandin' here today

Picket in sign, picket in line
Don't punish me with brutality
Come on talk to me, you will see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on?
Tell me, what's going on
I tell you, what's going on

Father, father
Everybody thinkin' we're wrong
Who are they to judge us
Simply because of our hair is long
You know know we've got to find a way
Bring some understanding here today

Picket in sign and picket in line
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me you will see
What's going on?
What's going on?
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on
Right on baby

What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?
Father, father
What's going on?
Father, father
