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?
