War – Why Can't We Be Friends Lyric

[Chorus]
Why can't we be friends (4x)

I've seen you 'round for a long long time
I remembered you when you drank my wine

[Chorus]

I've seen you walking down in Chinatown
I called you but you could not look around

[Chorus]

I paid my money to the welfare line
I see you standing in it every time

[Chorus]

The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony

[Chorus]

I'd kind of like to be the President
So I can show you how your money's spent

[Chorus]

Sometimes I don't speak right
But yet I know what I'm talking about

[Chorus]

I know you're working for the CIA
They wouldn't have you in the Mafi-A.

[Chorus]

[fadeout]
