Why can't we get along? \\
We've got so much in common\\
Our organs and our blood \\
And our capacity for love\\
Why can't we get along?\\
\\
Why must we always fight? \\
We're really not so different\\
We hope, we want, we need \\
If you prick us do we not bleed?\\
Why must we always fight?\\
\\
Some people can't get on with no one else\\
They make it so much harder for themselves\\
Don't drop that bomb down on the school below\\
Don't throw those Christians to those lions\\
It isn't rocket science\\
\\
Why can't we work it out?\\
We're wasting our potential\\
The courage to forgive\\
To live and to let live\\
Why can't we work it out?\\
\\
Let's make ourselves a pact\\
To not overreact\\
Every time that we agree to disagree\\
Why don't we just agree?\\
\\
Some people can't get on with no one else\\
They make it so much harder for themselves\\
Don't drop that bomb down on the school below\\
Don't throw those Christians to those lions\\
It isn't rocket science\\
Why can't we get along?\\
\\
Some people can't get on with no one else\\
They make it so much harder for themselves\\
Don't drop that bomb down on the school below\\
Don't leave those schoolchildren dying in the snow\\
Don't lose you head don't throw that coffee cup\\
Don't go to bed on an argument stay up\\
Love your enemies\\
Call them on the phone\\
Surprise them with a visit\\
It isn't astrophysics\\
Why can't we get along?\\\\
