lyrics: J. Morse © 1985 Weakness, exposing fear In a paranoid panic parade And emotions keep getting played upon By another hopeless manic depressive who twists Your words, he's so impressive Making endless speeches about your lies But he never tries to understand your view Then the lightning cracks And light shines through Where once there was a stranger You now can see a friend Oh, why couldn't we be friends? You used to search for the beginning But now you see no end Oh, why couldn't we be friends? Love can come and lead to sense And hand hatred another fall Oh, why couldn't we be friends? The space is now wide open Where there used to be a wall Senseless, the only word To describe this relentless routine The dialogue's obscene enough To turn the stomachs of those too weak To step inside this mindless freak show And halt a verbal war That started long before they saw the effects You realize, I hope That it doesn't make any sense Where once there was a stranger You now can see a friend Oh, why couldn't we be friends? You used to search for the beginning But now you see no end Oh, why couldn't we be friends? Love can come and lead to sense And hand hatred another fall Oh, why couldn't we be friends? The space is now wide open Where there used to be a wall Confess, you're too confused To continue this senseless charade The movie's been replayed enough You should have memorized all of the lines But your ignorance combines with Blinded, ruthless hate, but you know It's not too late, you can change the course Blast a hole in the wall And feel no remorse Where once there was a stranger You now can see a friend Oh, why couldn't we be friends? You used to search for the beginning But now you see no end Oh, why couldn't we be friends? Love can come and lead to sense And hand hatred another fall Oh, why couldn't we be friends? The space is now wide open Where there used to be a wall Oh, why couldn't we be friends? Oh, why couldn't we be friends? |
