Mothers against drunk drivers The Pope is against the pill The Union’s against the workers Working against their will The President’s against the Congress The Senate is against the House People are against Politicians And I’m against cats in the house. But I’m for love ... and I’m for happiness And I’m for ... if you don’t like it Can’t you just let it pass And I’m for turning off the news And turnin’ down the light ’Cause I’m for nothin’ else But me and you to-} night. The City’s against the County The County’s against the State The State is against the Gover’ment And the highway still ain’t paved The Banker’s against the Farmer The Farmer’s against the wall Doctor’s against me smokin’ And the Devil’s against us all. But I’m for love ... and I’m for happiness And I’m for ... if you don’t like it Can’t you just let it pass And I’m for turning off the tube And turnin’ down the light ’Cause I’m for nothin else But me and you tonight. CHANGE TO C: The Cops are against the Robbers The Laws are against the Cops Justice is against the system And the people are blowin’ their tops The Horse is against the Automobile The Bus is against the Train The Train is against the Jumbo Jet And I’m against fishin’ in the rain. But I’m for love ... I’m all for happiness And I’m for ... if you don’t like it Can’t you just let it pass And I’m for turning off the tube And turnin’ down the light ’Cause I’m for nothin’ else But me and you to-} night. Hey I’m for love I’m all for happiness And i’m for ... not looking for something to make us mad I’m all for turnin’ off the news and turnin’ down the light And I’m for nothin’ else but me and you tonight.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un monde plein de tensions et de conflits, où divers groupes et institutions semblent toujours en désaccord, que ce soit au niveau politique, social ou même personnel. Malgré cette cacophonie de désaccords, le chanteur affirme sa préférence pour l'amour et le bonheur, suggérant que ces valeurs simples et authentiques devraient primer sur toutes les querelles. Il prône une certaine déconnexion des nouvelles et des tracas quotidiens, invitant à se concentrer sur l'essentiel, à savoir les relations humaines et les moments partagés. Le contexte de la chanson résonne avec les préoccupations contemporaines d'une société de plus en plus divisée, où les tensions s'accumulent tant sur le plan sociopolitique que dans la vie de tous les jours. En choisissant de mettre en avant l'amour et le bonheur, elle nous rappelle que parfois, il vaut mieux laisser de côté les conflits pour se recentrer sur ce qui nous unit.
