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)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
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)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)
Why can't we be friends (4x)

also you can be racist in the cia but not the mafia. and both are corrupt.
blacks and whites have been together for a long long time. beginning of time or something.
it's a stretch but with the wine thing maybe they're saying that jesus was black and there were whites following him and drinking his miraculous wine.
maybe she is a trained assassin out to get whoevers singing. or even the other way round. whoevers singing is on a mission to kill this person but theyve fallen in love and he dont wanna kill her any more but has to
i reckon its something to do with the CIA bit, but maybe thats just because ive just been reading Scorpia and Ark Angel
ive only ever heard the reel big fish cover of this but i dont think its no different :s this song is cool!
