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?

We can't be friends 'cause I don't know you. LOL
the 2nd verse is "i see u walkin down in Chinatown u see me smilin & then u frown" not the squinkelpuss rubbish u put im looking 4 a good song 2 sing but i gess itz not going 2 b this 1
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.)

I'm 53. You kids don't understand what it means to have a song with lyrics that mean something.This is class compared to the stuff out today.
muy pillo me enamore de la cancion wacho . el gil q la imbento es lo + pillin q hay. vientos no se q mas decir jojojojojojo.
Vientos es fabulosa y muy copada .Chalay nose q decir jojojojojojojojojojojojojojojojojo
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.
love the version in the movie bridge to terabithia
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
eh joey, i'd be thankful for living today because you never know how different things could be if you lived then.
this is such a great song
sorry bout that but every 1 has there own oppinion so jst like let every1 b themself
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!
JENI SHUM TE MIR VEQ VAZHDONI???
I'M ALBANIAN GIRL YOU KNOW????
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.
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
i love this song
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
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)
i think that this is a great song because its tryin to settel war. and its very catchy
Y cant we be friends is my favourite song
YEAHH!!! WHY the fuk can we be friends!!! xD
why can't we all be friendds? i dontt gett itt....
(:
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.
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?
it's a beautiful song.
all over the world why can't we be friends
iss is a maggiiiiccc song :D
real catchy
is a bautiful song, is prettier i love it, talk of the realiti of the sociality, is very good. i love to every body. bye bye.
I love this song. Its actually LEGENDARY

I always get this song stuck in my head and then i'm just singing it all day. Great song!
xx
GRACAIS ESTA CANCION ME LEVANTO EL DIA
i'd be better if it'd have better verses. i don't mean its bad but it's just advice
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!
Is Simple, is fantastic, is wonderful, this song is very good!!
i like this song in brige to terabithia that film made me cry when i watched it.itz a good song

i love this song. it one of my favorites. this is a good song.
i also heard it from bridge to taribithia that's how i no the song in the first place. go war!!!
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?
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
really good song love the lyrics
i love this song
this song says 'why cant we be friends 47 times
ello poppit my name billybobhuntersonpocketkeru i come from land of sector 7, i have a crush on darth vader and a odd fear of blueberry muffins... got a promblem?... i think not!
this song is kinda crappy cuz all the majority of lyrics is "why cant we be friends" its like somebody from elementary making a song just to pass and go on to the next level... in the same sense as making a trash song to be just heard... i think they should had reduced the amount of "why cant we be friends" lines with more better and sensible lyrics...
i love this song all time favorite..... i ain't kidding!! =P
i like this song,originally i heard it from the movie "bridge to tarabithia". :)
LOLer....you are a fu**ing n00b. This song is verry special for a bilion of people....:|
then rest my case...
Yeah, why CAN'T we be friends?
If anyone can't figure out why we can't be friends, look at a lot of the comments here. Look at the language here. There is no respect, no caring.
When this song came out, we wanted to change the world. We wanted to compromise and learn from each other. Well.. Look where that got us.
LOLer of the world is wrong you got the song right
At the end of LETHAL WEAPON 4 it's the end's song
I love this song iwill never stop singing this song.

Okay. There are two different versions of this song. This version happens to be by War. The original. Smash Mouth did this song a couple of years AFTER War.
i luv this song its awesue
haha Tim I'm pretty sure Smash Mouth did this song more than a COUPLE years after War ... seeing as War was a '70s band and SM was from the '90s, I'd say it's more like a couple decades ...
but whatever, good song, good album!

The Stones?

go fuck yourselves you bunch of tree hugging hippies, and fuck you about you slavery and shit, it was better when we had slaves working in our fuckin gardens
love this cuz of terabithia!
Well i'm no hippie, and i'm against slavery, but this is a good song..not the best...and far from the worst....the lyrics are right and i think that more people should be writting songs like this one...songs that have more depth than what they did last week with they're friends at a party or whatever it is that all theese song writters are writting about.
i love derek
redneck gives rednecks a bad name. Too bad we tend to judge everyone by our own worst values and behaviors.

thank u for put the lyrics
the song has simple lyrics but they're meaningful. The lyrics aren't just about racism. it was made with the cold war in mind; when it first came out it was broadcasted simultaneously to American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts.
i feel like want to say "why cant we be friends" on his face..
:'(
I like why can't we be friends song

great lyrics. I know your working for the cia....
Maybe the american people should ask themselves why most presidents have worked in the cia?
mena affair with clinton, jfk "intervention" (mcCains word).
If these "accidents" never get questioned, why would the people stop doing it?
Who's here because of Adam Carolla?

Hey it's Hanna again I want to thank you again söooooö
I really like this song but the way they sang it Walt Disney's Bridge To Terabithia is way much better. That movie made my tough heart cry.
That movie made me feel sad for three days, it really touched my heart so I bought its original DVD.

This is the kind of clap-trap crap that passed for "music" in the drug-addled '70's. Shameful.
GOODBYE SOMEBODY!
"I know they sing this in the CIA, and also in the Ma-fa-ayyy!"
