Why Can't We Live Together lyrics

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, mmh
Why can't we live together?
Tell me why, tell me why, mmh
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, mmh
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, mmh
You are still my brother
I said no matter no matter what color, mmh
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, ooh
Everybody wants to live
Everybody's got to be together
Ooh, ooh, ahh, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Everybody's got to be together
Everybody wants to be together
I said no matter, no matter what color, mmh
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?
Mhm
Mhm
Gotta live together
Together
