Lyrics What's Going On - Club Version - Cyndi Lauper

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 loving here today

Picket lines
And picket signs
Don't punish me
With brutality
Just talk to me
So you can see

Hey, what's going on
What's going on? (What's going on?)
What's going on? (What's going on?)
Yeah, what's going on? (What's going on?)

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Who are they to judge us
Just because our hair is long
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding today
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here to day

Picket lines (sister)
And picket signs (sister)
Don't punish me (sister)
With brutality (sister)
Now just talk to me (sister)
So you can see

What's going on? (What's going on?)
Oh, what's going on
Tell me what's going on? (What's going on?)

What's going on? (What's going on?)
Yeah, yeah
What's going on? (What's going on?)
You tell me, I tell you, you tell me, I tell you
What's going on? (What's going on?)

Mother, mother
Father, father
Yeah
What's going on? (What's going on?)
I'll tell you what's going on
You tell me what's going on
Father, father
There's too many of you dying
Yeah

Mother, mother
There's far too many of you crying
What's going on? (What's going on?)
What's going on? (What's going on?)
What's going on? (What's going on?)
What's going on?
I'll tell you, you tell me
I'll tell you, you tell me
I'll tell you what's going on?

Father, father
What's going on?
