LYRICS:
What's Going On

Tell Me

People Dying
People Crying
Lord Help Us

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying

Oh, brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying

That's Right

You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Oh my 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

Barricades, can't block our way.

Don't punish me with brutality

Talk to me
So you can see

Oh what's going on
What's going on
Yeah what's going on
Ahh what's going on

What's going on in a world filled with pain
Where's the love for which we pray
What's going on
When our children can't play
Homeless can't eat
There's got to be a better way
What's going on
When we politically blind
Can't see the signs of endangered times
What's going on

Ah tell me
What's going on in the world today
I'd rather be dead
Than turn my head away
We gotta first world vision to ???? to lift our
Hands in the air and cry for a switch

Father, father

Father help us, come on

Everybody thinks we're wrong

Oh, but who are they to judge us
Together we can all be strong

United we stand, United we fall

Oh you know we've got to find a way

To bring some understanding here today

Barricades can't block our way

Don't punish me with brutality

Baby talk to me
So you can see

(Second Chorus)
Yeah, what's going on
Hey, what's going on
Somebody tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's goin' on -uh

What's going on 'cross seas
Every minute a child dies by this disease
In record numbers indeed
Got momma's crying out please
My baby hold on
My child ain't done nothing wrong
Still I want to hollar
Ask them why they don't bother
Oh no, oh no
Make me turn to my father
And ask him why they all got a trapped soul

I can feel what was bothering Marvin
Why his words forever remain
Dealing with these modern day problems
'Cause of ignorance surrounding me and my constituents
Too many infected
Too many lives diminishing
Nobody say Protestants, Jews, Blacks, and Whites, Latino's and Asians
Pray together
Less fight
We better unite
As genocide chemical war
And the rich and the poor
Know that God delivers a cure

It's a shame our reality is devastating
People praying for a cure
Dying while they're waiting
Ask the Lord for the comfort and strength to face it
All the kids with dreams
Won't get the chance to chase it
Makes me sad
Think about the lives they would've had
Think about the orphan babies got no moms and dads
How can we sit back and not try to make it right
We gotta come together
We gotta fight for life

Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
We got human beings using humans for bombs
But everyone wanna live
Don't nobody really want to die
You feeling me right
I can't be watching people die
(die)
And watching people cry
Let me break it down for a minute
If there's enough room here for you and me
There's plenty of room for some humanity




Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on

[wayside333]

read both our comments again, it is quite clear who is ignorant, rude, disrespectful, and spiteful. if you think about it, when you make unjust accusations of others, it usually a reflection some internal issues that you are experiencing. This is the internet, I am entitled to my opinion and to express it. I did not direct any negativity towards anyone unlike what you did. If you get upset at everything you read online, i fear for your health

[Ladik Pompa]

Christina Aguilera
