Get Along

I still remember
Just like it was yesterday
The moment the gavel
Brought the fires and the rage
Now it stands to reason
That in time we'd see a change
But the more things keep on shifting 'round
The more they stay the same

Please don't tell me that it's over
It breaks my heart, I fear we'll never make amends
Where is the love within these borders?
When will this end?

Why can't we all just get along? (Oh)
Why can't we all just get along? (Oh)

Now father said, "Son, you'd better keep this truth in mind"
"If we come back together, we might all get out alive"
But the war that is raging between the hearts of men
For ideas not worth saving that might break us in the end

With empty words we keep on fighting
We're only getting weaker 'cause we're too headstrong
When there is no real way of deciding who's right or wrong

Why can't we all just get along? (Oh)
Why can't we all just get along? (Oh)

You're either ignorant or blind (there I said it, there I said it)
I thought we left this shit behind (there I said it, there I said it)
Don't tell me I don't belong, don't insist you're right I'm wrong
The answer in the end was never black or white

With empty words we keep on fighting
We're only getting weaker 'cause we're too headstrong
When there is no real way of deciding who's right or wrong

Why can't we all just get along? (Oh)
Why can't we all just get along? (Oh)
Why can't we all just get along? (Oh)
Why can't we all just get along? (Oh)
