Black folks count on music
But can we just put the thongs away
We don't sing no more
Still hear Donny playin' them keys
Where'd the soul go?
Where'd the music go?
Where's the music gone?
Right now I'm missing music
Gladys, Tina and Chaka Khan
Can't go back to yesterday
Everybody knows that Marvin's gone
It's all just for the dough
Can't even turn on my radio
Where'd the soul go?
Reminds me of when I heard Aretha sing
Where'd the music go?
Still I gotta tell you what's going on
We don't sing no more
Said the music gone
It ain't soul no more
It ain't soul no more
It's all about the video
Where's the music gone?
It's all just for the dough
Somebody hollerin' ‘bout a bitch or a ho
Nothin' but the music, oh
Where's the music gone?
And fall back in love with music
Singin' one day we'll all be free
It's all about the video
