Why can't we get along
We've got so much in common
Our organs and our blood
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 your 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
