What's Going On

(álbum: Dancing In The Street: The Songs Of Motown II - 2006)

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 here today oh

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 loving here today oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Oh, what's going on
Ah, what's going on

Mother, Mother, everybody thinks we're wrong
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

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Come on talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Yea, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on Yeah hey oohhh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Come on talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Yea, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
