Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me why? Tell me why?
Umm, why can't we live together?
Tell me why? Tell me why?
Umm, why can't we live together?
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together?
[Verse 2]
No more wars, no more wars, no more war
Just a little peace in this world
No more wars, no more war
All we want is some peace in this world
[Verse 3]
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we live together?
[Verse 4]
No matter, no matter what color
You are still my brother
No matter, no matter what color
You are still my brother
[Verse 5]
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together?
Be together
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Be together
Be together
