Lyrics
Hey baby, what'cha know good
I'm just gettin' back, but you knew I would
War is hell, when will it end?
When will people start gettin' together again?
Are things really gettin' better, like the newspaper said?
What else is new my friend, besides what I read?
Can't find no work, can't find no job, my friend
Money is tighter than it's ever been
Say man, I just don't understand what's going on across this land
Ah, what's happening, brother?
Ay, what's happening? What's happening my man? Woo
Are they still gettin' down where we used to go and dance?
Will our ball club win the pennant?
Do you think they have a chance?
And tell me friend, how in the world have you been?
Tell me what's out and I want to know what's in (what's happening, brother?)
What's the deal man, what's happening (what's happening what's happening, brother?)
What's happening, brother? (What's happening?)
What's happening, brother?
Ah, what's happening, brother?
What's happening my man? Woo
Ah, what's happening, brother?
Say man, woo
What's happening, brother?
What's been shaking up and down the line?
I want to know 'cause I'm slightly behind the times
