What's Going On is one of my favs of all time... and still as relevant today as it was when Marvin wrote it. I don't exactly know how this idea even came about honestly, but it evolved over the week and this is the final product. Obvs my wah wah clean guitar playing needs a lot of work. but I'm trying!
lyrics
Marvin asked the questions, they told him to stand down
Thankfully for all of us, his voice was strong and loud
Still too many dying, still no end in site
War is still a losing game, with so much left to fight
Why do we sit for it, let them get away with it
When will we ever learn?
We’re still wondering
When all is said and done
We’re still wondering
What’s going on
What’s going on
Banning education, overthrows & lies
Hide behind the Bible, shameless alibis
Brutality & cruelty, brilliantly disguised
Performing for your audience, souls so compromised
Why do we let them, divide us and profit
When will we ever learn?
