Why can't we all just, just get along
Why can't we all just, just get along
Why can't we all just, just get along
Why can't we all just listen
Telling everybody I'm gonna rock the stage
Pulling it out into a different way
Hey, you know what the public say
Can't do this, and I can't do that
Sit, lay back and close my eyes
Think myself a reason why (why?)
There is no reason why
Why should I sit back
Everything we speak is hatred
We're also afraid of compliments
We ignore each other like abolishments
Set aside each other's accomplishments
Brother tells me it's common sense
That things won't get better til' we're done with this
Things coming down to parliaments
And all of it starts at the heart of it
Lately I've been feeling like
I'm determined I can change the world
Stay away from this hatred hurl
Invoke this time in a positive way
What you say, what you spray
Doesn't stay, no more games
Time is now
Let me show you how
Chorus
Why can't we all just, why can't we all
Why can't we all just, just get along
Why can't we all just, why can't we all
Why can't we all just, just get along
Why can't we all just, why can't we all
Why can't we all just, just get along
Why can't we all just, why can't we all
Why can't we all just, just get along
Stereotypes, guns, and knives
Verbal scarring deep inside
Alcohol and drug abuse
Sex with no protection use
Greed and lust turns into hate
While the world is in debate
Shoulda, woulda, coulda
Coulda made a choice to demonstrate
Never wonder why we're depressed
We look to pills for all rest
But they just make it all worse
Everything in life seems perversed
Why's everyone so perversed
They wait for at night, and they learn
In search for the one they can hurt
Gonna leave another body in the dirt
There is no reason for this destruction
There is no reason for this pain
(Repeat Chorus)
Why can't we all just get along
We fight each other in every song
We point our fingers, like we've done no wrong
