Whats Goin` On Lyrics

Mother, mother 

There's too many of you crying 

Oh, brother, brother, brother 

There's far too many of you dying 

That's Right 



You know we've got to find a way 

To bring some lovin' here today 



Oh my 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 

Barricades, can't block our way. 

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 

Ahh what's going on 



What's going on in a world filled with pain 

Where's the love for which we pray 

What's going on 

When our children can't play 

Homeless can't eat 

There's got to be a better way 

What's going on 

When we politically blind 

Can't see the signs of endangered times 

What's going on 



Ah tell me 

What's going on in the world today 

I'd rather be dead 

Than turn my head away 

We gotta first world vision too comfy to lift our 

Hands in the air and cry for a switch 



Father, father 

Everybody thinks we're wrong 

Oh, but who are they to judge us 

Together we can all be strong 

United we stand, United we fall 



Oh you know we've got to find a way 

To bring some understanding here today 

Barricades can't block our way 

Don't punish me with brutality 



Baby talk to me 

So you can see 



Yeah, what's going on 

Hey, what's going on 

Somebody tell me what's going on 

I'll tell you what's goin' on -uh 



What's going on 'cross seas 

Every minute a child dies by this disease 

In record numbers indeed 

Got momma's crying out please 

My baby hold on 

My child ain't done nothing wrong 

Still I want to hollar 

Ask them why they don't bother 

Oh no, oh no 

Make me turn to my father 

And ask him why they all got a trapped soul 



Somebody tell me what's going on 

(what's going on) 

We got human beings using humans for bombs 

But everyone wanna live 

Don't nobody really want to die 

You feeling me right 

I can't be watching people die 

(die) 

And watching people cry 

Let me break it down for a minute 

If there's enough room here for you and me 

There's plenty of room for some humanity 



Somebody tell me what's going on 

(what's going on) 

Somebody tell me what's going on 

(what's going on) 

Somebody tell me what's going on 

(what's going on) 

Somebody tell me what's going on 

(what's going on) 

Somebody tell me what's going on
