Where Is The Love
The Monzas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Outside air
Songs we share
We don't care
Where's the love?

Now we regret
Nothing yet
Don't forget
Just get some love

I'm not saying love is blind
But I'm afraid that everytime
I read the paper
Or watch the TV
There's not a lot of
Love anymore
Oh could it be that simple?
Or could it be the bold?

I'm not saying love is blind
But I'm afraid that everytime
I read the paper
Or watch the TV
There's not a lot of
Love anymore
Oh could it be that simple?
Or could it be the bold?

Outside air
Songs we share




We don't care
Where, oh where, is the love?

Overall Meaning

The Monzas's song "Where Is the Love" is a reflection on the increasing lack of love in society. In the first stanza, the lyrics establish a sense of disconnect and indifference from the world around them, with the phrase "Outside air/Songs we share/We don't care/Where's the love?" The singer asks where the love is, highlighting a sense of longing and disconnection that is echoed throughout the rest of the song.


The second stanza reveals a sense of regret, but not for any specific action taken. The singer wonders if they have missed out on something by being so disconnected from love in the world, asking listeners to "Don't forget/Just get some love." This is a call to action to seek out love and connection in the face of an increasingly indifferent world.


The repeated refrain, "I'm not saying love is blind/But I'm afraid that every time/I read the paper/Or watch TV/There's not a lot of/Love anymore" speaks to the idea that love is not necessarily absent altogether, but rather that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find and recognize in the world. The song seems to suggest that love is something to be actively sought out and fought for, rather than something that will simply come easily.


Overall, "Where Is the Love" is a poignant reflection on the state of society and the human condition, highlighting the longing for connection and love in a world that often seems indifferent.
