Lyrics to Marvin Gaye's song "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 lovin' here today - Ya
• 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?!
• Ya, what's going on?!
• Ah, what's going on?!
• In the mean time
• Play some music
• Right on, baby
• Right on Right on
• Father, Father, everybody thinks we're wrong
• Oh, but who are they to judge us
• Simply because our hair is long
• Oh, you know we've GOT TO FIND A WAY
• To bring SOME UNDERSTANDING here today Oh
• Picket lines and picket signs
• Don't punish me with brutality
• Come on TALK to me
• So you can see
• What's going on?!
• Ya, what's going on?!
• Tell me what's going on?!
• I'll tell you what's going on!!!
