Somebody play on the guitar stings Makes me think of my favorite songs Reminds me of when I heard Aretha sang Gladys, Steven, and Chaka Khan Can't go back to yesterday Can we just put the thongs away And fall back in love with music Nothin' but the music Oh Everybody knows that Marvin's gone Still I gotta tell you what's going on Said the music gone Where did all the soul go? It's all about the video We don't sang no mo' Where's the music gone? Where'd the music go? It's all just for the dough It ain't songs no mo' Where's the music gone? Still hear Donny playin' them keys Sangin' one day we'll all be free Can't even turn on my radio Somebody hollerin' bout a bitch or a hoe Right now I'm missing music Black folks count on music Where did all the soul go? It's all about the video We don't sang no mo' Where's the music gone?
