What's Happening Brother Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

Hey baby, what you know good
I′m just gettin' back, but you knew I would
War is hell, when will it end?
When will people start gettin′ together again?
Are things really gettin' better, like the newspaper said
What else is new my friend, besides what I read

Can't find no work, can′t find no job, my friend
Money is tighter than, it′s ever been
Say man, I just don't understand
What′s going on across this land
Ah, what's happening brother?
Yeah, what′s happening? What's happening my man?


Are they still gettin′ down
Where we used to go and dance
Will our ball club win the pennant
Do you think, they have a chance?
And tell me friend, how in the world have you been?
Tell me, what's out, and I want to know what's in (what′s happening brother?)

What′s the deal man (what's happening, what′s happening brother?)
Tell me brother (what's happening?)
What′s happening brother?
Ah, what's happening brother?
What′s happening my man?
Whoo, ah, ah, what's happening brother?
Say man, whoo, what's happening brother?

What′s been shaking up and down the line?
I wanna know ′cause, I'm slightly behind the time
