Michael McDonald - What's Going On

Oh oh oh
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

Father, father
We don't need to escalate
Oh the war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today, oh oh oh

Picket a side (sister)
Picket a line (sister)
Don't punish me (sister) with brutality (sister)
C'mon talk to me (sister) so you can see (sister)
Oh, what's going on (what's going on)
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause our hair is long
You know, know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

Picket a side (brother)
Picket a line (brother)
Don't punish me (brother) with brutality (brother)
C'mon talk to me (brother) so you will see (brother)
Oh, what's going on (what's going on)
What's going on (what's going on)
Tell me what's going on (what's going on)
I'll tell you what's going on (what's going on)
Uh, uh, uh, uh

What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
What's going on
Hey now
Father, father
What's going on
