What's Going On - Roberta Flack

Mother, mother

There’s far too many of you crying

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

Mother, mother

We don’t need to escalate

War is not the answer

For only love, only love can conquer hate

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

What’s going on

What’s going on

Mother, mother

Everybody thinks you’re wrong

Oh, but who are they to judge us

Simply 'cause your hair is long?

'Cause your hair is long?

Picket lines and picket signs

Don’t punish me with brutality

Come on, talk to me, so you can see

Talk to me

Talk to me

Talk to me

Talk to me

Talk to me

What’s going on

What’s going on

What’s going on

What’s going on

I’ll tell you what’s going on

Mother, mother

Sister, sister

Brother, brother

What’s going on

What’s going on

What’s going on

What’s going on

Mother, mother

Everybody thinks you’re wrong

Oh, but who are they to judge us

Simply 'cause your hair is long?

'Cause your hair is long?
