What’s Going On
Sung by: Marvin Gaye

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

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
what's going on
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
Right on baby

What the World Needs Now is Love
Sung by: Jackie DeShannon 

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
 It's the only thing that there's just too little of
 What the world needs now is love, sweet love
 No not just for some, but for everyone

Lord, we don't need another mountain
 There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
 There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
 Enough to last 'til the end of time

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
 It's the only thing that there's just too little of
 What the world needs now is love, sweet love
 No, not just for some, but for everyone

Lord, we don't need another meadow
 There are cornfields and wheatfields enough to grow
 There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
 Oh listen, Lord, if you want to know

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
 It's the only thing that there's just too little of
 What the world needs now is love, sweet love
 No, not just for some, oh, but just for every, every, everyone
