John Legend - What's Going On Lyrics

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

Mother, mother, 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
Come on, talk to me so you can see
What's going on what's going on
What's going on
I'll tell you what's going on
