Where is the love - black eyed peas -
Where is the love.
월드스타를 두 눈으로 본 적은...?
물론 월드컵 때 스포츠 국제인사를 제외하곤...
맨하튼에서 오노 요코
신라호텔에서 윌 스미스
베이징에서 리차드 클레이더만
and someone else???
2003년 여름, Joe는 나를 이끌고 필라델피아로 향했다. Newjersy에서는 비록 조수석에 있더라도 음주는 illegal. 그래도 고개 숙여가며 맥주를 들이키며 필라델피아 입성.
맥주 한 잔 하러 state를 바꿔가는 대담성.
음악 들으며 술이나 한 잔 하기.
델리에서 햄버거의 탈을 쓴 녀석들 5 pack 들고 위장 진입 성공. 우뢰매를 감상하던 시민회관 같은 분위기.
대충 drink 하나씩 손에 쥐며, 힐끗 술을 판매하는 과감한 여자의 찢어진 jean을 보며 정말 머리 터지는 빠른 영어의 랩에 몸을 맏긴지 두 시간.
뭉텅이들이 나와서 노래하며 날라 다니는데 애들이 휴대폰 들어서 막 찍어주시네.
앗 리듬 괜찮네!
Joe에게 물어봤더니 지가 좋아하는 그룹이라네. 중학생 같이 생긴, 러시아에서 내가 자주 들어주던 아이 같이 생긴, 그 소녀는 몸을 비틀면서 현란한 몸동작을 해주시고. Jason은 옆에서 따라하는데 허리가 따라주지 않는구나.
필라델피아에서 프린스턴으로 넘어오는 새벽녘. 라디오에서는 그 주의 빌보드 차트가 흘러 나오니, 바로 그 음침한 곳에서 한 손에는 술병을 들고, 오리엔탈의 무시를 피하기 위해 같이 흔들어 대던 곳의 주인공들의 Where is the love가 3주 연속 일등을 먹었다는 소식.
한국에 들어오고 한참 뒤에 한 통신회사의 광고 음악 속에 나오네.
가만 가만 가사를 음미해보면 완전 시니컬한 아나키스트 향.
garden state 그리고 필라델피아의 새벽을 기억나게 해주는 그 노래와 노래꾼들.
stage manner.
그 뒤 클럽에서 신청곡은 항상 이 노래가 우선 되었고, 유일하게 따라 부를 수 있는 스피드 백만 개의 양키 노래가 되었으니...
What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Badness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love
It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'
in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our own direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive to lovers bound
People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
영원하라~~~
Fergie
바로 Where is the love.
Anyway, Where is my real love???
