"Why Can't We Be Friends"

[orig. performed by WAR]

Why can't we be friends [4x]

I seen ya, I seen ya, I seen ya 'round for a long long timeI really, I really, I really remember when you drank my wine

Why can't we be friends [4x]

I seen ya, I seen ya, I seen ya walkin' down in ChinatownI called ya, I called ya, I called but you did not look aroundI pay my, I pay my, I pay my money to the welfare lineI seen ya, I seen ya, I seen ya standing in it everytime

Why can't we be friends [4x]

The color, the color, the color of your skin don't matter to meAs long as, as long as, long as we can live in harmonyI kinda, I kinda, I kinda, like to be the presidentAnd I could, and I could, and I could show you how your money's spent

Why can't we be friends [4x]

Sometimes I don't speak rightBut did I know what I was talking aboutI know you're working for the CIA They wouldn't have you in the mafia

Why can't we be friends [4x][Repeat to fade]
