Michael McDonald - What's Going On Lyrics
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
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
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
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
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

Didn't Michael Bolton already ruin enough classic tunes?
Piss off
Yep, and MM took them to another level!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
His voice, these are fathers, music is nonsense those days, these are the days of music, him, Bobby Caldwell, Timex, the Reverend Al Green, Bill Withers, these are people who know how to sing and compose.
Soulful genius un like no other iluvv his music
One of my favorite men by far i luuuv hin very much his music is heartfelt to my soul don't ask me. Micheal McDonald's music stands alone.
Un gran cantante....

A combination of Elegance & soulfulness, Michael McDonald is in a category all by himself
The chord changes starting at 3:31 are astounding!
HIS VOICE AND ARRANGEMENT ARE BREATH TAKING
I fall more in love with this mans music everytime i listen I'll love his music always. Soulful and handsome i love him and his wonderful classy sexy tastefully made music there will never be another man or voice like Micheal McDonald's. I'm in love heart and soul top pick for sure
I have both Michael's Mowtown cds, this & I'm Gonna Make You Love Me are my favourites. I have his Soundstage video, Dukes Of September etc....I have his duets, love him with James Ingram RIP, can pick his background vocals in anything. My favourite Doobie Brothers song is What A Fool Believes with his lead vocals, could listen to that forever. So worthy of a Grammy. His talent is unmatched (except by Dary Hall).
Fitting 3 years after posting
Wow Mike totally owns this! his arrangement is very impressive.
My dads name is Michael McDonald to
Two deaf people couldn't hear what was going on.
ONLY LOVE CAN CONQUER HATE!! love MM's voice
