"Why Can't We Get Along"

I can't read the paper
I can't watch the news
I can't bear the who and where and what they say's the truth
Everybody's crazy with avarice and greed
Tooth for tooth, eye for an eye
Is never gonna set you free

Oh why can't we get along
Why can't we get along

Mama always told me
There's too many on this earth
Nature has a way of getting even, mark my words
You see it in the weather
You see it in the wars
Something tells me she's not gonna take it anymore

Oh why can't we get along
Why can't we get along
Oh why can't we get along
Why can't we get along

I believe in truth and love
And I believe that all of us
Come into this world with a good heart
Love your neighbour like a brother
As you'd want, do unto others
Seem's so simple, why is it so hard

See the kind & Happy Lovers
Turn in time on one another
What once was warm turns a cold heart
I believe in live in let live
And the freedom of forgiveness

Well if Jesus died to save the sinners
Was it a waste of a good man's life
Is there a meanness in the bones of man
Beyond his sacrifice
Why why why is there hatred
Why why tell me
Why why are they fightin'
Why why, tell me
Why why is there killing
Why why is there greed
Why why, all the people cry
How much do you really need?

Oh why can't we get along
Why can't we get along
Oh why can't we get along
Why can't we get along
