Mother mother

There's so 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

Oh what's going on

What's going on

Somebody tell me what's going on

I wanna know what's going on

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

Somebody tell me what's going on

I wanna know what's going on

You know you've got to find a way

To bring some lovin' here today

Oh what's going on

Somebody tell me what's going on

I wanna know what's going on

I wanna know what's going on
