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 ya I seen ya
I seen ya around for a long long time
I really I really
I really remember when you drank 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 ya I seen ya
I seen ya walking down to Chinatown
I called ya I called ya
I called ya but you did not look around
I pay my I pay my
I pay my money to the welfare line
I seen ya I seen ya
I seen ya 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 the color
The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as as long as
As long as we can live in harmony
I'd kinda I'd kinda
I'd kinda like to be the President
Then I can then I can
Then 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 right
But I know what I was talking about
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

(until the end)
