War - Why Can't We Be Friends

Why can't we be friends?

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

Why can't we be friends?

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

Why can't we be friends?

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

Why can't we be friends?

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

Why can't we be friends?

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

Why can't we be friends?

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

Why can't we be friends?

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