Can't We All Just Get Along? Lyrics

Can't we all just get along

Ain't it time we took a stand

'Cause they hide behind agendas when they lend a helping hand

I'm tired of the lectures

About how I'm supposed to be

Can't we all just get along

Against a common enemy

They tell us death and taxes

Are all that's guaranteed

They say that we'll be happy

When we don't own a thing

Well I find it peculiar

Why they're so hell bent on me

But the motto that they live by

Is 'rules for thee and not for me'

So can't we all just get along

Ain't it time we took a stand

'Cause they hide behind agendas when they lend a helping hand

I'm tired of the lectures

About how I'm supposed to be

Can't we all just get along

Against a common enemy

They're masters of distraction

They have us hang on every word

While you're focusing on one thing

They're burying someone with their dirt

They're using us like pawns

In their petty little game

They give us bread and entertainment

While they're all on ol' Saint James

So can't we all just get along

Ain't it time we took a stand

'Cause they hide behind agendas when they lend a helping hand

I'm tired of the lectures

About how I'm supposed to be

Can't we all just get along

Against a common enemy
