What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Take control of your mind and meditate
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity

I felt the need to write these lyrics from The black eye peas because I feel that my generation is going crazy. We are becoming mentally unstable and it bothers me. It saddens me, it makes me cry. We are all so desperate for love, that we are looking everywhere for it. We are willing to take it from anywhere we can get it. Whether from strangers or people who say the right things at the right time. A person just gives a little bit of attention and we want to give them our body and soul. "Where is the love!!!?". Someone please tell me where the love is because this is not love. That is not love. So if this is not love, than where is the love? My generation lack love...because the past generation has failed to teach us. The sad and scary thing is, you can't teach what you don't know. So when did the love leave...and is it gone forever? Are we going to live our lives like zombies, deceived and force fed an artificial kind of love? A love that makes you lose your mind and all sense of reasoning? Who told you that was love? Who told you it was okay to love that way? Who? You tell me, what do you know about love?

Tell me brothers and sisters...lovers and friends...what do you know about love?

You don't know shit about love and it's okay to cry about it.
