[Verse]
Why can't we just stand still why's it gotta be a fight
The air's so thick with anger it chokes out all the light
Shadows cast by egos grow tall and sharp like knives
We're all just trying to make it through this messy thing called life
[Verse 2]
Why can't we treat each other like we'd want it in return
Instead we build up walls and let the bridges burn
Every voice is screaming but no one's being heard
The world keeps spinning faster til the lines all blur
[Chorus]
Why can't we just get along
Why's it gotta be so wrong
To want a little peace in the chaos of the throng
Why can't we just get along
[Verse 3]
Respect is a whisper lost in a crowded room
Buried under pride and a thousand points of gloom
Bygones never bygones ghosts won't let us be
We're trapped in this spiral longing to be free
[Bridge]
We all got the right to stand on this ground
But we push each other under til no one's left around
The weight of all this hatred's too heavy to bear
Why can't we open our eyes why can't we care
[Chorus]
Why can't we just get along
Why's it gotta be so wrong
To want a little peace in the chaos of the throng
Why can't we just get along
