What's Going On Lyrics - Twelve Deadly Cyns... And Then Some - Cyndi Lauper

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 back love here today 

Father, father 

There's no need to escalate 

Listen, war is not the answer 

For only love can conquer hate 

You know we've got to find a way 

To bring back love back here today 

Picket lines and picket signs 

Don't punish me with brutality 

And just 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 

Every body thinks we're wrong 

Oh, who are they to judge us 

Just because our hair is long 

You know we've got to find a way 

To bring back understanding today 

You know we've got to find a way 

And bring back some love back here today 

Picket lines and picket signs 

Don't punish me with brutality 

And just talk to me, so you can see 

Oh, what's going on, what's going on 

What's going on, I tell you what's going on 

Oh, what's going on, what's going on 

What's going on, what's going on 

Mother, mother 

Father, father 

Good God
