What’s Going On Songtext
von Joe Cocker

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 loving here today

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 loving here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don′t punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see

What′s going on?
What's going on?
Oh it′s going on
What's going on?


Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we′re wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us?
Simply 'cause our hair is long

You know we′ve got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Oh, talk to me, so you can see

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?

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 loving here today


What′s going on?
What′s going on?
What's going on?
Yea, 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?
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?
