What’s Going On Songtext
von 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, 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)
What′s going on (What's going on)
What′s going on (What's going on)
What's going on (What′s going on)

Right on, baby
Right on, baby
Right on

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we′re wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause our hair is long
Oh, 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
Come on talk to me
So you can see
What′s going on (What's going on)
Yeah, what′s going on (What's going on)
Tell me what's going on (What′s going on)
I′ll tell you, what's going on (What′s going on)


Right on, baby, right on
Right on, baby
Right on, baby, right on
