What's Going On (Coffeehouse Mix) Lyrics

Hey, hey-hey
Hey, what's happenin'?
Brother, what's up?
Boy, this is a groovy party, man, I can dig it
Hey, how you doin'?
Yeah, brother, solid, right on
What's happenin'?
Hey, man, what's happening?
My man
Woo
Everything is everything
We're gonna do a get down today, boy, I'll tell ya
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, yeah
Father, father
We don't 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 some lovin' here today, oh (oh)
Picket lines (sister) and picket signs (sister)
Don't punish me (sister) with brutality (sister)
Talk to me (sister), so you can see (sister)
Oh, 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)
Oh, what's going on (what's going on)
Ah-ah-ah-ah (in the meantime, right on, baby)
Woo (right on, baby), woo
Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Woo (right on, baby, right on), woo
Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply 'cause our hair is long?
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
Bring some understanding here today, oh, oh, oh
Picket lines (brother) and picket signs (brother)
Don't punish me (brother) with brutality (brother)
Come on, talk to me (brother), so you can see (brother)
What's going on (what's going on)
Yeah, what's going on (what's going on)
Tell me what's going on (what's going on)
I'll tell you what's going on (what's going on)
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh (right on, baby, right on)
Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya, ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Woo, woo (right on)
Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Woo (right on, baby, come on, right on)
Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
Woo (right on)
Listen, ah-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
