Why's this fussing and a-fighting?
I wanna know, Lord, I wanna know
Why's this bumping and a-boring?
I wanna know, Lord, I wanna know now
We should really love each other (love each other)
In peace and harmony (peace and harmony), ooh
Instead, we're fussing and fighting (fussing and fighting)
And them workin' iniquity ( iniquity)
Why's this fussing and a-fighting?
I wanna know, Lord, I wanna know ( know), I wanna know now
Why's this cheating and backbiting?
(I wanna know ) I wanna know, oh, Lord, I wanna know now
(Stop your fussing and fighting, stop your fussing and fighting)
