What's Going On

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 This 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 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? What's going on, yeah? What's going on? Mother, mother Everybody thinks we're wrong Who are they to judge us Just because our hair is long You know we've got to find a way To bring some understanding here today You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality But just talk to me So you can see What's going on What's going on What's going on Tell me what's going on What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? You tell me, I'll tell you You tell me, I'll tell you what's going on --- What's Going On - Cyndi Lauper
