Where Is The Love? Lyrics

(Costello, Toussaint) Where is the love It's such a ruthless business Where is the faith The hope and the forgiveness Twisting the words you say until the meaning fits It starts with a little lying Then there's no end to it At best you are a cruel coward At worst you are a worthless hypocrite Where is the love Now it's so badly needed I heard a cry that always goes unheeded Between your heart and hide Something gets lost because it takes a tragedy To trick it out of us We never do the thing we should do You just say anything to get your way Where is the love Where is the love How can you face your face in the mirror How can you turn a blind eye to all What lurks inside of you that allows you to steal from the table of life How can you place your head on the pillow Knowing you are so guilty of all but the truth Between your heart and hide Something gets lost because it takes a tragedy To trick it out of us At best you are a cruel coward At worst you are a worthless hypocrite Where is the love Where is the love
