“Where Did All The Love Go” is the second track and second single from Kasabian’s 2009 album West Ryder Lunatic Pauper Asylum.
The song addresses violence in the UK and Serge has said they are his favourite lyrics he has written.
[Verse 1]
Ever took a punch
In the ribcage, Sonny?
Never met a soul
Who had no shrine
Keep this all in your mind
And get it inside my window
What do we become
Trying to kill each other?
You're faking it, Son
Gonna get you tonight
I suck another breath
To the hearts of the revolution
'Cause you still ain't right
[Hook]
Where did all the love go?
I don't know
I don't know
I bet you can't see it
Where did all the love go?
I don't know
I don't know
I bet you can't see it
[Verse 2]
Cannot see the signs
Of a real change a comin'
Take another sip
From this hobo's wine
Get yourself a million miles
From this concrete jungle
This is a time
Full of fear, full of anger
A hero's exchange for a telephone line
Whatever happened to the
Youth of this generation?
'Cause you still ain't right
[Hook]
Where did all the love go?
I don't know
I don't know
I bet you can't see it
Where did all the love go?
I don't know
I don't know
I bet you can't see it
[Bridge]
The rivers of the pavement
Are flowing now with blood
The children of the future
Are drowning in the flood
[Hook]
Where did all the love go?
Now I don't know why
I don't know why
[Bridge]
In this social chaos
There's violence in the air
Gotta keep your wits about you
Be careful not to stare
[Hook]
Where did all the love go?
I don't know
I don't know
I bet you can't see it
Where did all the love go?
I don't know
I don't know
I bet you can't see it
