David Byrne - Blue In The Face

Why Can't We Be Friends?

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Bee bop bang chump, chicken on a farm
Free shop-a-lift lift, friendly little charms
So what about people who don't give a damn
Making over god over hand, over-

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Wouldn't it be great if Tinkerbell think?
Everybody on the head with the kitchen sink
Then thoughts and plans would be generous
Receiving gifts from U.P.S

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

They say a stranger's just a friend you haven't met
Yeah, I wish I could believe in that epitaph
Epidemics making people end
Once upon a friend, why?

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I saw your picture at the post office
You looked so familiar and suspicious

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Maybe if I wasn't so busy all the time
Everyone in the world would be a friend of mine

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
