"Why Can't You Just Get Along?" is a blues-rock song that questions why people struggle to find common ground. It reflects on the divisions created by stubbornness and conflict, exploring themes of separation, the cycle of "us" versus "them," and the longing for unity. With powerful lyrics and intense emotion, it urges listeners to consider the cost of these walls and yearns for a time when people could come together despite their differences.
Lyrics:
Verse:
You draw the lines, a wall between
Choosing sides, fueling the unseen
Holding tight to what’s yours alone
Words like weapons, cold as stone
History repeats in the same old throng
Why’s it so hard for you to just get along?
Pre-Chorus:
Each clash, each cry, and call for might
The world grows darker in the light
Chorus:
Why can’t you just get along?
Why’s it gotta hurt for you to feel strong?
Caught in a loop of “us” and “them”
Building walls we can’t condemn
Round and round, the same old song
Oh, why can’t you just get along?
Verse:
Voices rise in every land
A million faces, no common stand
People yearning for something real
Lost in the noise, no wounds to heal
Yet each day, you push along
Why can’t we all learn to just get along?
Pre-Chorus:
Words divide where bridges could mend
Who decides where peace should end?
Chorus:
Why can’t you just get along?
Why’s it gotta hurt for you to feel strong?
Caught in a loop of “us” and “them”
Building walls we can’t condemn
Round and round, the same old song
Oh, why can’t you just get along?
Bridge:
Once upon a time, we dreamed as one
Believed in hope, what we could become
But somewhere along, the ties grew weak
Looking for strength, yet turn your cheek…
Chorus (Outro):
Why can’t you just get along?
Why’s it gotta hurt for you to feel strong?
Caught in a loop of “us” and “them”
Building walls we can’t condemn
Round and round, the same old song
Oh, why can’t you just get along?
