Lyrics:

Why can't we be friends (4x) I seen ya, I seen ya, I seen ya 'round for a long long time I really, I really, I really remember when you drank my wine Why can't we be friends (4x) I seen ya, I seen ya, I seen ya walkin' down in Chinatown I called ya, I called ya, I called but you did not look around I pay my, I pay my, I pay my money to the welfare line I seen ya, I seen ya, I seen ya standing in it everytime Why can't we be friends (4x) The color, the color, the color of your skin don't matter to me As long as, as long as, long as we can live in harmony I kinda, I kinda, I kinda, like to be the president And I could, and I could, and I could show you how your money's spent Why can't we be friends (4x) Sometimes I don't speak right But did I know what I was talking about I know you're working for the CIA They wouldn't have you in the mafia Why can't we be friends (4x) (Repeat to fade)
