Django Django Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Why can't we live together
Tell me why, tell me why
Why can't we live together

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together
No more war, no more war, no more war
Just a little peace
No more war, no more war
All we want is some peace in this world

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together

No matter, no matter what color
You are still my brother
I said no matter, no matter what color
You are still my brother

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together

Everybody wants to live
Everybody's got to be together

Everybody wants to live
Everybody's going to be together

Everybody's got to be together
Everybody wants to be together

I said no matter, no matter what color
You're still my brother
I said no matter, no matter what color
You're still my brother

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together





Gotta live together
Together

Overall Meaning

The song "Why Can't We Live Together" by Django Django is a remake of a original song by Timmy Thomas. The lyrics are asking a very important question, "why can't we all just get along?" The first verse asks this question repeatedly, highlighting the desire for people to live side-by-side without disagreements. It then addresses the issue of war, pleading for there to be no more fighting and instead, for peaceful interactions. The song emphasizes the desire for unity, with a chorus that repeats the line "everybody wants to live together, why can't we be together?"


The verse that follows the chorus emphasizes the idea of brotherhood and fraternity, regardless of race. It acknowledges that no matter the color of an individual's skin, they can still be considered family. The song then repeats the chorus again, this time with more conviction and urgency, and ends with the simple phrase "gotta live together, together", driving its message home.


Overall, the song's message is one of hope and unity, illustrating the desire for people to come together and live in peace despite their differences. It is a plea for humanity to rise above their petty squabbles and focus on our shared humanity.
