What's Going On
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 - Yeeh.
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.

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)
Ya, what's going on (what's going on)
Ah, what's going on (what's going on).

Ahh, ahh, ajaa, ajaa ......... (right on) ..... do, be, pe, pe, ....

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today.
Oh, oh.

Picket lines (mama) and picket signs (mama)
Don't punish me (mama) with brutality (mama)
Come on talk to me (mama)
so you can see (mama)
What's going on (what's going on)

Ahh, ajaa, ajaa ......... do, be, pe, pe, ....


What's Happening Brother
Hey baby, what'cha know good
I'm just gettin' back, but you knew I would
War is hell, when will it end,
When will people start gettin' together again
Are things really gettin' better, like the newspaper said
what else is new my friend, besides what I read
Can't find no work, can't find no job my friend
Money is tighter than it's ever been
Say man, I just don't understand
what's going on across this land
Ah, what's happening brother (what's happening brother),
Eh, what's happening, what's happening my man, oh
Are they still gettin' down where we used to go and dance
Will our ball club win the pennant,
Do you think they have a chance
and tell me friend, how in the world have you been.
Tell me (what's happening brother)
what's out and I want to know what's in (what's happening, what's happening brother, ...).
What's the deal man, what's happening
What's happening brother
Ah, what's happening brother
What's happening my man. Wow.
Ah, ah, what's happening brother
Say me, wow, what's happening brother.
What's been shaken up and down the line
I want to know cause I'm slightly behind the time.


Flyin' High
Flying high in the friendly sky
Flying high without ever leavin' the ground, no
Rest of the folks are tired and weary
Oh Lord, and have laid their bodies down.
Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah.
I go the place where danger awaits me
and it's bound to forsake me.
So stupid minded.
I can't help it
oh ya, so stupid minded.
But I go crazy when I can't find it, (find it ...)
in the morning, I'll be alright, my friend.
But soon the night will bring the pains,
the pain, oh the pain
Flying high in the friendly sky
without ever leaving the ground
and I ain't seen nothing but trouble baby
Nobody really understands, no no
and I go to the place where the good feelin' awaits me
Self destruction in my hand
Oh, Lord, so stupid minded
Oh, and I go crazy when I can't find it
well, I know I'm hooked my friend
to the boy who makes slaves out of men.
And oh believe me
Flying high in a friendly sky
Oh baby, flyin' high.....
Flying high in a friendly sky ....


Save the Children
I just want to ask a question
Who really cares ?
To save a world in despair
Who really cares ?
There'll come a time (there'll come a time),
when the world won't be singin' (when the world won't be singin')
Flowers won't grow (flowers won't grow, no),
Bells won't be ringin' (bells won't be ringin')
Who really cares ? (Who really cares ?)
Who's willing to try (Who's willing to try)
To save a world (to save a world)
that's destined (that's destined to die).
When I look at the world (when I look at the world)
It fills me with sorrow (it fills me with sorrow)
Little children today (children today)
Are really gonna suffer tomorrow (really suffer tomorrow).
Oh, what a shame, (oh what a shame),
such a bad way to live (such a bad way to live),
all who is to blame (all who is to blame), We can't stop (we can't stop livin').
Live (live), live for life (live for life)
but let live everybody
Live life for the children (live life for the children)
Oh, for the children
See (Oohh), let's let's save the children
Let's let's save all the children
Save the babies, save the babies
if you wanna love, you got love, save the babies you got to save the babies
Save the babies all of the children

But who really cares
Who's willing to try
Yes, to save a world
Yea, save our sweet world
Save a world that is destined to die.
Oh, oh .... la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, oh dig it everybody.


God Is Love
Oh don't go and talk about my Father (don't go and talk about my Father)
God is my friend (Jesus is my friend)
He made this world for us to live in (made this world),
and gave us everything (gave us everything)
and all he asks of us is we give each other love.
Oh yeah.
Don't go and talk about my Father (don't go and talk about my Father)
'cause God is my friend (Jesus is my friend)
He loves us whether or not we know it
just loves us, oh ya
and He'll forgive all our sins
Forgive all our sins
and all He asks of us, oh yeah, is we give each other love.
Oh yeah.
Love your mother, she bore you
Love your father, he works for you
Love your sister, she's good to you
Love your brother, your brother
Don't go and talk about my Father, He's good to us,
God is my friend, Jesus is my friend
for when we call in Him for mercy, Mercy Father
He'll be merciful, my friend
Oh, yes He will
all He asks of us, I know.


Mercy, Mercy Me
Woo ah, mercy mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no no
Where did all the blue skies go ?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east
Woo mercy, mercy me, mercy
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, (mercy) no no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas, fish full of mercury
Ah, oh mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be, no no
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh, mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be
what about this overcrowded land
how much more abuse from man can she stand ?
Oh, na na...
My sweet Lord... No
My Lord... My sweet Lord.


Right On
Hey baby
that's alright people
I know that's alright
ev'ry day that's alright
Oh, when we love each other
I know that's alright
Oh feel it, feel it
Oh everybody feel it
God knows that's alright, yes
Some of us were born
with money to spend
some of us were born
for races to win
some of us are aware
that it's good for us to care
some of us feel the icy wind
of poverty blowing in the air
for those of us who simply like to socialize
for those of us who tend the sick
Ah, and heed the people's cries
Let me say to you
Right on
Right on, feel it
Yea, oh, oh, Oh Lord, Lord, people
and I say, right on
Honey right on.

For those of us who live
where peace is craved
for those of us who live, uh-huh
where hatred is enslaved, alright
for those of us who live a life
Yea, surrounded by good fortune and wealth
Talk about it
those of us who live a life
Hey, hey, hey enjoying ourselves
for those of us who got drowned
in the sea of happiness
for the soul that takes pride in his God
and himself and everything else.
Love.
That's all it is
We need love
that's all it is
Oh, oh
Love, love
Love's the thing.

Love, love, love, love
Sweet love, love
Wonderful love
Ah, true love, love
Love for your brother
Love, for God
Love, pure love.

Love can conquer hate everytime
Give out some love and you'll find
Peace sublime
and my darling, one more thing
if you let me, I will take you
To live where love is King
Ah, ah baby, baby.


Wholy Holy
Ah, wholy holy
Come together
Wholy holy
People we all got to come together
fore we need the strength, power and all the feeling
Wholy holy
Oh Lord, get together, one another
Oh Lord
Wholy holy
Wholy holy
Wholy holy we should believe in one another
(Wholy holy we believe in Jesus)
Jesus left a long time ago, said he would return
He left us a book to believe in
in it we've got a lot to learn
Oh, wholy holy
Oh Lord
We can conquer hate forever, yes we can
Ah, wholy holy, Oh Lord
We can rock the world's foundation
Yes, we can

Wholy holy together together and wholy
Holler love love love across the nation
Oh, oh

Throw up both my hands. Hooww.
Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic is spreading
God knows where we're heading
Oh, make me wanna holler
They don't understand.

Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah..... Hooww.

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
who are they to judge us (mother, mother)
simply cause we wear our hair long.
