Conflict Theory compared to the song "Where is the Love" by the black eyed peas

There's winner and there's losers Conflict Theory is defined as "A theory propounded by Karl Marx that claims society is in a state of perpetual conflict due to competition for limited resources. Conflict theory holds that social order is maintained by domination and power, rather than consensus and conformity. According to conflict theory, those with wealth and power try to hold on to it by any means possible, chiefly by suppressing the poor and powerless. Conflict theory also ascribes most of the fundamental developments in human history, such as democracy and civil rights, to capitalistic attempts to control the masses rather than to a desire for social order (Investopedia).
The song "Where is the Love" strongly shows Karl Marx's theory in clear content. The song starts off saying "what's wrong with the world mama,  people living like they ain't got no mamma?" that's a very strong line for this time because in the early 2000 era the world faced many problems. They mention terrorism, gangs, discrimination, murder, war, and many other topics of hatred.
The idea of the Conflict Theory is the world is split into two types of people the capitalist and the bourgeoisie. Will.i.am states "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," this line right here shows the conflict theory well comparing the gangsters and the racists to the CIA. The song goes on to talk about people who only care about their bank account compared to children who fight for their lives every day for a war that's unknown. The world is an uneven playing field, and this song expresses that in many ways.
Society is still split up like this today, many of us only care about the material things in life, although we will all end up the same place-the ground. While so many people are worried about having the latest and greatest Ferrari they could helping people in ways they don't even know is possible, but we as a society are selfish and we "rig" the rules ourselves to keep the wealthy people even more wealthy and more powerful. "We've only got one world," why can't we change the means of production and help out more people?
