Old man living, down on the street
Don’t ask for much just something to eat
Looks to the sky, prays to the heavens above
People passing, no time today
They all look the other way
What is there to say? Whatever happened to love?
I ain’t rich an I ain’t poor
But there should be some kind of law
Making sure nobody’s left alone
You got silver, you got gold
But that won’t stop you getting old
You will still go cold
Like a piece of stone
Whatever happened to love? Whatever happened to love?
Whatever happened to love? Whatever happened to love?
Rich man poor man nothing between
Living together but never seen
The world can sometimes be just a little bit blind
Life can be easy life can be cruel
Why does it always feel like a duel?
We need to change the rules
An be a little more kind
You don’t know, maybe one day
You’ll find streets can all go two ways
Funny things happen sometimes that you can’t control
You don’t always get things right
And lady luck can sometimes bite
But you don’t have to fight
Just have a bit more soul
Whatever happened to love? Whatever happened to love?
Whatever happened to love? Whatever happened to love?
You don’t know what happens when there’s no one else around
And you can’t say what goes along when love just can’t be found
In these dark and dirty streets nobody gives a damn
I can’t take it any more so goodbye Uncle Sam
I know people follow oz why they do it? Just because
They don’t see that it’s all just a little bit fake
Well I got two cars you got four why are we all keeping score?
Everybody wants more from the money cake
You can take your slice of pie, but you can’t give a reason why
Those without will never reach the top
Well I know some things have to be
But this is something I don’t wanna see
Next time you or me we gotta call a stop
Whatever happened to love? Whatever happened to love?
Whatever happened to love? Whatever happened to love?
