What's Going On (Original)
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 - Ya
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
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on
In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on
Mother, Mother, 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
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby
DISINHERIT
i feel a burning in my stomach
i wanna know if i'm a-gonna make it
if i don't just spread my ashes
if i do just spread your mind
swimming
i see myself a-treadin' water
i see no signs of any other people
there's a heron up above me
i lay back and spread my mind
dutchess
she used to be a movie maker
she used like to watch the boys watch her
and she saved enough money
to go to cal and spread her mind
billy

and they made a hundred thousand dollars
but ended up in federal prison
