What's Going On Lyrics - Hall & Oates

Mother, mother, there's too many of you crying 

Brother, brother, brother, there's far too many of you dying 

You know we'ver got to find a way 

To bring some lovin' here today, hey 

Father, father, we don't need to escalate 

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 

Chorus #1: 

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 

Yeah, what's going on, ah, what's going on 

Ahhh.... 

Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong 

Ah but who are they to judge us 

Simply 'cos our hair is long 

Ah you know we'ver got to find a way 

To brind some understanding here today 

Chorus #2: 

Picket lines and picket signs 

Don't punish me with brutality 

Talk to me, so you can see 

What's going on, yeah what's going on 

Tell me what's going on, I'll tell you what's going on
