What's Goin' On
Alfred W Cleveland, Marvin P Gaye, Renaldo Benson
Does anybody realize what's goin' on
Take a look around and you will see that we're destroying ourselves
Does everybody out there have a chip on their shoulders
Or is it that we've got nothing, nothing better to do
Beatings of five to one wasn't enough
Now we're using everything from chains
To knives and guns
How much more of this do we have to take
Before we realize it's such a senseless waste
Does anybody out there hear the cries
Of mothers who have lost their children
To your foolish games
When are you gonna realize
That it's all just, just a senseless waste
You think that it's just a game
Well, I've got one thing to explain
Someday your luck will fail
Then you'll wind up dead or jailed
