"Where is the Love?"

By:The Black Eyed Peas

"Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism 
 But we still got terrorists here livin'
 In the U.S.A., the big C.I.A.
 The bloods and the crips and the K.K.K.

 But, if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah"

"In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love"
