What's Going On

Cyndi Lauper · Original Album Classics [2008]

Mother mother

There's too many of you crying

And, brother brother brother

There's far too many of you dying

You know you've got to find a way

to bring that love here today



Father father

There's no 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 back lovin' here today



aw picket lines (brother) and picket signs (brother)

dont punish me (brother) with brutality (brother)

Just talk to me (brother) so you can see

oh whats going on

tell me whats going on



mother mother

ev'ry body thinks we're wrong

who are they to judge us

cause our hair is long

you know we've got to find a way

to bring some understanding today



aw picket lines (sisterr) and picket signs (sister)

dont punish me (sister) with brutality (sister)

Just talk to me (sister) so you can see

oh whats going on

tell me whats going on
