What's Going On
Music and Lyrics by Renaldo Benson, Al Cleveland and Marvin Gaye

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 - Ya

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 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

Ya, what's going on

Ah, what's going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on

Right on

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us

Simply because 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
Talk to me

So you can see

What's going on

Ya, what's going on

Tell me what's going on

Il tell you what's going on - uh
Right on baby

Right on baby
