[Verse 1] Why are people so insane? Why do we go out in the rain? Say one word, then it all turns gray And everybody walks away [Pre-Chorus] I’m tired of the blame Tired of the same old thang If we could slow it down Maybe we’d turn around [Chorus] Why can’t we get along? Why can’t we get along? One more step, not a wall One more hand to break the fall Why can’t we get along? Why can’t we get along? Say it plain, say it strong Why can’t we get along? [Verse 2] I saw a kid he thinks he knows best Saw a heart go cold over less Cheap shots land, then the room gets tense And pride goes outside slammed up against the fence [Pre-Chorus] But I still hear a name Under the noise and the shame If we could slow it down Maybe we’d turn around [Chorus] Why can’t we get along? Why can’t we get along? One more step, not a wall One more hand to break the fall Why can’t we get along? Why can’t we get along? Say it plain, say it strong Why can’t we get along? [Bridge] Maybe you hurt like me Maybe you just can’t see How close we are How far we bleed If we lay it down If we meet in the middle now Maybe all this smoke Could clear somehow [Final Chorus] Why can’t we get along? Why can’t we get along? One more step, not a wall One more hand to break the fall Why can’t we get along? Why can’t we get along? Say it plain, say it strong Why can’t we get along?
