[Chorus]
Why can't we just be friends?
Why we always gotta fight?
Why we always gotta focus on that dark
Instead of followin' the light?
Why can't we just be cool? (Why can't we just be cool?)
'Cause at the end of the night ('Cause at the end of the night)
We're always gonna have our differences
But that's alright (That's alright, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 1]
I've been tryna find the light, that sunny side of life
Tryna find a vibe in these life and times, but all I find's a fight
And see now, everybody got they fuse lit, it's a world of dynamite
But when you scrappin' ovеr that whole pie, therе's no time to find a slice
I took my time to find a bite, mm-mm, that food tastes good
They'll take a seat at my table just like I knew they would
No bickerin' up in my kitchen, so just save that shit
'Cause we just here to give thanks, get the bread and break that shit
So listen, take a minute please, light one, take a hit, and breathe
Come to terms within yourself that it's okay to disagree
Y'all know people gon' be people, they gon' label what they see
But I'll break your label maker if you hangin' out with me
Just be cool, just be civil, just relax just a little
You could be on the left or the right or come chill with me in the middle
Either way, make amends, shake a hand, make a friend
'Cause who else gon' have your back up in the end?
[Chorus]
Why can't we just be friends? (Why can't we just be friends?)
Why we always gotta fight? (Why we always gotta fight?)
Why we always gotta focus on that dark
Instead of followin' the light? (Yeah, yeah)
Why can't we just be cool? (Why can't we just be cool?)
'Cause at the end of the night ('Cause at the end of the night)
We're always gonna have our differences
But that's alright (That's alright, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
If we all don't get along soon, shit, I'ma be real, we all are doomed
Read the room, if we gon' stay divided, I can only assume
That this world will only get darker as we go farther into this rabbit hole
'Round and 'round on this merry-go with no common ground to just grab ahold
With this polarization all over the nation, communication
At an all-time low as a population, no cooperation
Misinformation all over your stations
And they don't want conversation
'Cause they know that that right there's the foundation of love
And once we realize that, the whole game is done
That power that they hold over us, with unity, we take it from
Don't got a friend, start makin' some 'cause all we got is each other
As the rich get richer and the bad guys win, gotta put our faith in a brother
Or in a sister, or in a them or they
'Cause honestly, yo, at the end of the day
We on the same team, I'm just givin' a premise to play
'Cause life is crazy enough, let's find a better way
Go spread some love, go make a friend and say
[Chorus]
Why can't we just be friends? (Why can't we just be friends?)
Why we always gotta fight? (Why we always gotta fight?)
Why we always gotta focus on that dark
Instead of followin' the light? (Yeah, yeah)
Why can't we just be cool? (Why can't we just be cool?)
'Cause at the end of the night ('Cause at the end of the night)
We're always gonna have our differences
But that's alright (That's alright, yeah, yeah)
