What About The Love? Lyrics - Janis Ian

I went to see my sister 

She was staying with a friend 

Who had turned into a preacher 

To save the world from sin 

He said, "First deny your body 

Then learn to submit 

Pray to be made worthy 

And tithe your ten percent" 

I said, "Is this all there is 

Just the letter of the law?" 

Something's wrong 

Went to see my brother 

On the 32nd floor 

Of a building down on Wall Street 

You could hear the future's roar

He said, "Here we make decisions 

And we trade commodities 

So if you tell me where there's famine 

I can make you guarantees" 

I said, "Is this all there is 

Power to the strong?" 

Something's wrong 

Something's wrong in heaven tonight 

You can almost hear them cry 

Angels to the left and the right 

Saying, "What about the love? 

What about the love? What about the love?" 

I went to see my neighbor 

He'd been taken to a home 

For the weak and the discarded 

Who have no place to go

He said, "Here I lack for nothing 

I am fed and I am clothed 

But at times I miss the freedom 

I used to know" 

I said, "Is this all there is 

When your usefulness is gone?" 

Something's wrong 

Something's wrong in heaven tonight 

You can almost hear them cry 

Angels to the left and the right 

Saying, "What about the love? 

What about the love? What about the love?" 

Looked into the mirror 

Proud as I could be 

And I saw my pointing finger 

Pointing back at me 

Saying, "Who named you accuser? 

Who gave you the scales?" 

I hung my head in sorrow 

I could almost feel the nails 

I said, "This is how it is 

To be crucified and judged 

Without love" 

Something's wrong in heaven tonight 

You can almost hear them cry 

Angels to the left and the right 

Saying, "What about the love? 

What about the love? What about the love of God?" 

Something's wrong in heaven tonight 

You can almost hear them cry 

Angels to the left and the right 

Saying, "What about the love? 

What about the love? What about the love?" 

Something's wrong in heaven tonight 

You can almost hear them cry 

Angels to the left and the right 

Saying, "What about the love? 

What about the love? What about the love?"
