Why can't we be friends
War ft. Class of Bridge to Terabithia Lyrics

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Repeated sounds expressing excitement and enthusiasm

La, la, la, la, la, la
Repetitive sounds expressing a melody or tune

Why can't we be friends
Asking the question of why people cannot get along and be friends

I seen ya around for a long long time
Noticing someone has been present for an extended period of time

I really remember you when you drank my wine
Recalling a past interaction where someone drank wine that belonged to the singer

I'd seen ya walking down in Chinatown
Noticing someone walking in a specific area of town

I called ya but you could not look around
Attempting to contact someone but they did not respond

I pay my money to the welfare line
Acknowledging that someone is paying money for welfare assistance

I see ya standing in it every time
Observing someone who is consistently present in the welfare line

The color of your skin don't matter to me
Stating that someone's skin color does not affect how the singer perceives them

As long as we can live in harmony
Underlining the importance of peaceful coexistence

I'd kinda' like to be the president
Expressing a desire to hold the position of President of the United States

So I could show you how your money's spent
Having a desire to demonstrate transparency when it comes to government spending

Sometimes I don't speak right
Admitting that the singer may not articulate themselves well at times

But yet I know what I'm talking about
Remaining confident that they are still capable of conveying knowledge and understanding

I know you're working for the CIA
Claiming to be aware of someone's occupation with the CIA

They wouldn't have you in the mafia
Speculating that this person would not be involved in crime syndicates

Why can't we be friends
Repeating the question of why people cannot be friends, emphasizing the desire for harmony

Why can't we be friends
Repeating the question of why people cannot be friends, emphasizing the desire for harmony

Why can't we be friends
Repeating the question of why people cannot be friends, emphasizing the desire for harmony

Why can't we be friends
Repeating the question of why people cannot be friends, emphasizing the desire for harmony

Why can't we be friends
Repeating the question of why people cannot be friends, emphasizing the desire for harmony

Why can't we be friends
Repeating the question of why people cannot be friends, emphasizing the desire for harmony
