What's Going On Songtext
von Paul Carrack

Mother, mother
There′re too many of you crying
And brother, brother, brother
There're too many of you dying
You know you′ve got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

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

Your picket lines (sister) and picket signs (sister)
Don′t punish me (sister) with brutality (sister)
Come on, talk to me (sister), so you can see (sister)
What′s going on (going on)
What's going on (going on)
What′s going on (going on)
What's going on (what′s going on)


What's going on?
Baby, what′s going on?

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

Picket lines (brother) and picket signs (brother)
Don′t punish me (brother) with brutality (brother)
Come on, talk to me (brother), so you can see (brother)
What's going on (what′s going on)
Going on (what's going on)
What′s going on (what's going on)
What′s going on (what's going on)

Ooh, baby, what is going, what is going on?
You bet I want to know what's going on
Everything, it can′t be found
Traditions come, but they′re gone now
What is going on, baby? Yeah
What's going on?
