Channelling Marvin Gaye in 2023

 

(A sad voice sings)

Holy Father

Father 

Father

Send us a prayer

For there's too many of us 

Standing by 

So many cold graves 

Crying

Holy Father

Father

Father

We know

There's far too many of us

Suddenly dying

So I know 

We've got to find a way

To bring some light 

On what's

Happening today

So yeah

Holy Father 

Father 

Father

We need to generate 

Songs 

Of debate

Debate

Before it's too late 

And things start to escalate

For war 

With the Red Bear 

To cover up 

The rise of sudden deaths 

And cancers

Aint the answer

To cover-up 

For big pharma 

And all their 

Necromancers

For only our power

Can conquer darkness

Before it's too late

Holy Father

Father

Father

Give us strength 

To generate some peace

To help us 

Find a way

To shine a light 

On the Media lies

Even though it 

Aint allowed 

With

No protest signs

For they beat you 

With their sharp sticks 

Of immorality

Holy Father

Father

Father

What's going on

Pray 

To help others 

Open their eyes

Father 

Sister 

Mothers 

Or brothers 

To really see

What's going on 

For everyone blinded

By their newspeak

Their dark music

And shout out

In the street

Or when you ask 

Questions 

Where you sit

You should trust the news

Not abuse it

Trust the news

Not abuse it

But we know its lies

What's going on

Sudden deaths

A rise in cancers

Heart attacks

What's going on

War in Russia

What's going on

Food crisis

Farming crisis

What's going on

Holy Father

Father 

Father

Help us find a way

To build a better day 

Starting today

When we all know 

What's going on

What's going on

What's going on

So we can all 

Get along

And stop what's wrong

It's why I wrote this song

What's going on

So people know 

What's really 

Going on

Right on
