Oh
Somebody tell me
Tell me why? Tell me why? Tell me why?
Why can't we live together?
Tell me why? Tell me why? Tell me why?
Why can't we live together?
Everybody wants to live together
Why can’t we be together?
Everybody wants to live together
Why can’t we live together?
Oh yeah
No more war, no more war, no morе war
Just a little peace in this world
No morе war, no more war, no more war
Why can’t we have peace in this world?
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we live together?
Got to live, got to live, got to live
Oh, we got to live together
Oh yeah
Got to live, got to live, hey
Why can’t we live together?
No matter, no matter, no matter what color
You know you’re still my brother
No matter, no matter, no matter what color

No more war, no more war, no more war

No matter, no matter, no matter what color
Yeah, you’re still my brother
Tell me why? Tell me why?
Why can’t we live together?
No, we’ve got to find some peace, got to find some peace
