When I was young I thought adults were kids grown up It turns out they're grown up kids And nothing really tends to change the way people behave It's their own grave they dig Why can't you just compromise Why ya gotta be so stubborn You make this harder than it needs to be Why you gotta dramatize Why ya gotta throw 'em in the gutter The way you act is unnecessary He is makin bad decisions But he'll listen to no one He says that guy was the problem Usin' manipulation What's your reason for division? Is holding grudges now an art? You just wanna cause a problem And your tearin this apart Your concept of hero's drivin me insnae You want good vibes while you sit there and complain You spend your whole life trying to bring everyone else down Wait a minute stop your talking Can you hear that sound? Why can't we just get along? Why can't we just get along? The rules seem simple enough to not forget One is sorry and one forgives But our pride gets the best of us anyway Why are we so combative He is deep in his depression He refuses to get help Causin' problems for the family Only thinkin' bout himself She stopped talking to her sister They don't see things eye to eye Is it worth it? are you happy? That you let it all die? Your concept of hero's drivin' me insane You want good vibes while you sit there and complain You spend your whole life trying to bring everyone else down Wait a minute stop your talking Can you hear that sound? Why can't we just get along? Why can't we just get along? Cuz' everybody's got a vice And in the end that's our demise We don't have mercy for all Scream and shout now all day long We don't see that we are doing just What we look down on Y'all need to relax Your concept of "hero"'s drivin' me insane You want good vibes while you sit there and complain You spend your whole life trying to bring everyone else down Wait a minute stop your talking Can you hear that sound? That sound That sound That sound Why can't we just get along? Why can't we just get along? Why can't you just get along? Why can't we just get along? Get along Get along (Get along) Get along (Get along) Why can't we just get along?
