Why Can't We Get Along

(Why)
(Why)

What a lovely day
Withers on the radio
Birds are out to play
Hear them sing in stereo

I can see a rose
Bloom in my peripheral
Earth between my toes
Makes me think of how we're finding

Cures to diseases in our driverless cars
We got plans for a trip to maybe settle on Mars
We keep building them bridges from shore to shore
And we're living so much longer than ever before, so tell me

Why can't we get along, baby?
Why can't we get along?

I hold up my hands
I ain't always innocent
But I don't understand
Fighting for the thrill of it

We try to make it work
Harbouring our bitterness
But every time it hurts
Makes me think of how we can

Reach out to people from all over the world
And things are getting better for our women and girls
We got skyscrapers built up to the heavens above
We got more people proudly saying love is love, so tell me

Why can't we get along, baby?
Why, why can't we get
Why can't we get along, girl?
(Why) Can't we get along, baby?
(Why) Why, oh, can't we get along?

(Why)
