What's Going On

About What's Going On

"What's Going On" is a 1970 song by the blues rock band Taste written by Rory Gallagher and produced by Tony Colton. The song was a major hit for Taste. Taste's A-side, a driving rock song, and the B-side boogie "Morning Sun", were taken from 1968 sessions for Taste's second album On the Boards and released by Taste's manager and Polydor without Gallagher's knowledge; going straight to No.1 in Germany, where the previous single "Born On The Wrong Side Of Time" had already been a hit, before Gallagher knew anything about it. By the time Gallagher had complained to Polydor the single had also entered the UK Top 10 and was unstoppable. Gallagher, who wanted to build the trio's image around serious blues music, not rock, was not happy with the record company having the say on the choice of "commercial" singles, and the other two members of the trio, John Wilson and Charlie McCracken, sided with Gallagher. After this single Taste performed at the Isle of Wight Festival in August 1970, but Gallagher quit Polydor on the last day of the year and left Taste to work on solo projects. more »

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, yea

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

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
