What's going on

What's Going On
Marvin Gaye

Mother, mother, there's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother, there's far too many of you dying
You know we'ver got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today, hey

Father, father, we don't need to escalate
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

CHORUS #1:
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
Yeah, what's going on, ah, what's going on
Ahhh....

Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong
Ah but who are they to judge us
Simply 'cos our hair is long
Ah you know we'ver got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

CHORUS #2:
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
What's going on, yeah what's going on
Tell me what's going on, I'll tell you what's going on

Has anyone listened to A Perfect Circle's cover of this song? I've heard three covers, one decent cover by U2 and Coldplay and a really horrible cover by 'various artists'. The cover by APC is excellent and totally different from Marvin Gaye's original as far as the mood of the song goes. the arrangements in the cover make the song a moody, brooding song. I like the cover better than the original just like I prefer Ugly Kid Joe's version of Cats in the Cradle.

Don't know what that says about my taste though.
