What's Going On - Los Lobos

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

Father, father

We don’t need to escalate

Because war is not the answer

For only love can conquer hate

You know we’ve got to find a way

To bring some understandin' here today

Picket signs, brother

Picket lines, brother

Don’t come to me, brother

With brutality, sister

'Cause talk to me, sister

And you will see, sister

Oh, what’s goin' on, what’s goin' on

What’s goin' on, what’s goin' on

What’s goin' on, what’s goin' on

Yeah, what’s goin' on

Father, father

Everybody thinks we’re wrong

Oh, but who are they to judge us

Simply because our hair is long

You know we’ve got to find a way

To bring some lovin' here today

With picket sign, brother

And picket line, brother

Don’t come to me, brother

With brutality, sister

'Cause talk to me, sister

And you will see, sister

Oh, what’s goin' on, what’s goin' on

Oh, what’s goin' on, what’s goin' on

Oh, what’s goin' on, what’s goin' on

I’ll tell you what’s goin' on

What’s goin' on, please tell me
