Elvis Costello
Where Is the Love
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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?

[Bridge]
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?

[Verse 3]
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?
