When I was young
I thought adults were kids grown up
It turns out they're grown up kids
And nothing really tends to change the way people behave
It's their own grave they dig
Why can't you just compromise
Why ya gotta be so stubborn
You make this harder than it needs to be
Why you gotta dramatize
Why ya gotta throw 'em in the gutter
The way you act is unnecessary
He is makin bad decisions
But he'll listen to no one
He says that guy was the problem
Usin' manipulation
What's your reason for division?
Is holding grudges now an art?
You just wanna cause a problem
And your tearin this apart
Your concept of hero's drivin me insnae
You want good vibes while you sit there and complain
You spend your whole life trying to bring everyone else down
Wait a minute stop your talking
Can you hear that sound?
Why can't we just get along?
Why can't we just get along?
The rules seem simple enough to not forget
One is sorry and one forgives
But our pride gets the best of us anyway
Why are we so combative
He is deep in his depression
He refuses to get help
Causin' problems for the family
Only thinkin' bout himself
She stopped talking to her sister
They don't see things eye to eye
Is it worth it? are you happy?
That you let it all die?
Your concept of hero's drivin' me insane
You want good vibes while you sit there and complain
You spend your whole life trying to bring everyone else down
Wait a minute stop your talking
Can you hear that sound?
Why can't we just get along?
Why can't we just get along?
Cuz' everybody's got a vice
And in the end that's our demise
We don't have mercy for all
Scream and shout now all day long
We don't see that we are doing just
What we look down on
Y'all need to relax
Your concept of "hero"'s drivin' me insane
You want good vibes while you sit there and complain
You spend your whole life trying to bring everyone else down
Wait a minute stop your talking
Can you hear that sound?
That sound
That sound
That sound
Why can't we just get along?
Why can't we just get along?
Why can't you just get along?
Why can't we just get along?
Get along
Get along (Get along)
Get along (Get along)
Why can't we just get along?
