Hey baby, what you know good
I'm just getting back, but you knew I would
War is hell, when will it end?
When will people start getting together again?
Are things really getting better, like the newspaper says
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?
what's happening brother?

Are they still getting down
Where we used to go and dance
Will our ball club win the pennant
Do you think, we 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 the deal man
What's happening?

What's the deal man
What's happening?
