lyrics

get along

FIRST CHORUS
Why do I gotta be black, you be white
in order for us to do what’s right
Why can’t we get along...get along

Why do I gotta be wrong, you be right
I ain’t tryin’ to make a fight
Why can’t we get along...get along

FIRST VERSE
Now why can’t we talk to each other like we got some sense
And abandon the arrogant pretense
Why can’t we get along...get along

Now why can’t we act like we got some education
from the school of love’s demonstration
Why can’t we get along...get along

SECOND CHORUS
Why do I gotta be black, you be white
in order for us to do what’s right
Why can’t we get along...get along

Why do you gotta be right, I be wrong
just so we can get along
Why can’t we get along...get along

SECOND VERSE
It’s so silly when you think about it
How we cling to such bigoted views
And the rock on which we base our opinions
have nothing to do with our various hues

If you were losing your life for the lack of CPR
and your eyes were closing her doors
Would it matter if I were gay, straight, black or white
could I put my mouth on yours?

BRIDGE
What’s the matter...what’s the deal
Can you tell me how you feel
If you were blind
could you see this soul of mine
Appreciate divine design
