Why Can't We Be Friends Lyrics

Artist: War
Album: 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 seen you 'round for a long long time
I really 'membered you when you drink my wine

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 seen you walkin' down in Chinatown
I called you but you could not look around

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 bring my money to the welfare line
I see you standing in it every time

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

The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony

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'd kinda like to be the President
so I can show you how your money's spent

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

Sometimes I don't speak too bright
but yet I know what I'm talking about

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 know you're working for the CIA
they wouldn't have you in the Mafia

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?

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

by Joey on 5/12/2008 7:32pm I'm really into history, espacially with the civil rights movement and the Civil War. I know this sounds kind of wierd, but I read the American Girl books for Addie, a slave. They're actually pretty cool, all about how she escapes slavery in 1964 and then tries to find her family when slavery ends. Sometimes I wish that I lived on a plantation back then so I could tell people off for being mean to my slaves. Maybe, if I'd lived been a teenager in the sixties, I could even be in the boycotts and everything! Even though Martin Luther King Jr. died, it's nice to think that his followers still respected his no-violence attitude. After all, why try to treat the bad people the way they treated the African-Americans? And you have to admire them- even through the 200+ years slavery was practiced, they stayed strong and kept on fighting. Now they blend right in. I think this song just says that all and more. (Although I don't quite know whose point of view it's from.)

by Tim on 7/30/2008 5:21am 4 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. The Holy Bible : New International Version. 1996, c1984 (Jas 4:1-3). Grand Rapids: Zondervan.
by nae on 8/2/2008 8:25pm love the version in the movie bridge to terabithia
by bella is a dumbass on 8/4/2008 4:39am the second verse is. I called you but you could not look around so what you put is a bunch of bs lies. dont try and make a good song bad douchebag
by amber on 8/16/2008 11:32pm eh joey, i'd be thankful for living today because you never know how different things could be if you lived then.

by Ale-E-Inn on 8/23/2008 4:32pm The Joob-Joobs are coming! this song is awsome when aliens sing it - pixar is also awsome. I know all the lyrics and i've only heard the song once. amazing. people - each verse is relating to a different circumstance, but collectively refers to peace and harmony. dont over-analyse a cool song!
by SSAasAS on 8/27/2008 10:29am JENI SHUM TE MIR VEQ VAZHDONI??? I'M ALBANIAN GIRL YOU KNOW????
by Saprina on 9/1/2008 9:29am oh my god i!!!!!!!! realy love this song it so great, i think all hostile people should learn that song, people like u,i write it down so i can learn it but i'm very friendly.
by bk on 9/1/2008 10:00am dont be so mean to bella we all have a right to think what we want and if she thinks the song isn't good enough let her think that and you can think what you want but don't call her a dumb ass! i totally agree with her but i also don't i like it but it's wierd thats my opinion and you all have yours take the advise from a semi-prefesional singer
by buso on 9/4/2008 2:09pm i love this song
by julia on 9/9/2008 5:04pm kay--don't be mean if bella got the words wrong. the words are actually i called you but you could not look around. (i have the cd) also, the artist is war. smash mouth redid it. also, also: it's kind of ironic that you're cursing and being mean over a song called "why can't we be friends?" just noting that.... <3
by JP on 9/17/2008 2:52am K so I def heard this song the first time at the end of Lethal Weapon 4 or smthng way long ago and I member one time one of my bfs got into a fight with me and another of our bfs, so we called her and sang her this song using three-way. she def cracked up and started talkin to us agin x)
by narja on 9/19/2008 2:52pm i think that this is a great song because its tryin to settel war. and its very catchy

by lovebb7 on 9/29/2008 4:04pm why can't we all be friendds? i dontt gett itt.... (:
by Josh on 9/29/2008 9:37pm just to correct a few things on the comments here: - Smash Mouth did a cover. War did the original in.. the late 70's i think? - the song's not trying to settle war. - and unrelated, upwards on the comments, slavery did not end in 1964 haha, it was way earlier than that my friend. great song though. great band.
by T Rex on 9/30/2008 7:11pm Check Bella's comment a little bit below mine and listen to the song.... What, is Bella on Crack? or does she have a very serious hearing defect?

by AcidJazz210 on 11/6/2008 10:00pm Sean you are correct, Bella was wrong about the lyrics. I'd also like to add a correction.. It's not "sometimes i don't speak too bright". the correct lyrics are "sometimes i don't speak right, but yet i know what i'm talkin' about". Trust me, i knew the drummer =]. Peace everyone!

by Sonso on 10/27/2009 10:38pm Hey Joey the slaves were freed by Abe Lincoln in 1865 so I think u mean she escaped in 1864 and martin Luther king jr. Died after he acheved equal rights so his followers would have no reason for violence anyway they already won and also if u lived back then in the time of slaves you would have been killed if u spoke out agaist slavery in the south besides u would have been brought up thinking slavery was good not how u people think now so u probably would have no problem with slavery lastly wat does this have to do with this song?
by kozma on 11/7/2009 6:11pm I think it is a beautiful song and those who do not like should mind there own business. it is a song u do not here every day
by grissom on 11/19/2009 9:48am really good song love the lyrics
