|
Walking down the street |
|
People that I see |
|
Turn around and walk the other way. |
|
I don't want no trouble |
|
Stay in my own little bubble |
|
That's a game I don't wanna play. |
|
U can call me what u want. |
|
I don't even know your name. |
|
But Oooo my dear |
|
Won't u hear me loud and clear? |
|
I love u. I love u just the same. |
|
(Chorus) I'm just singing my song |
|
Hoping we get along, someday. |
|
(Can't we get along, just get along?) |
|
Then we all will be free. |
|
U be u I'll be me, OK? |
|
One says to the other |
|
That u're my brother |
|
Just as long as u look like me. |
|
It would be a little better |
|
If we all would sing together, |
|
Harmonize in the same key. |
|
The day is coming soon, |
|
The day we will all understand. |
|
But until we do, I will keep loving u |
|
And then I'll see u in another land. |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Walking down the street one day |
|
Everybody looked at me and turned the other way. |
|
Tell me what did I do? What did I say? |
|
What, is my hair too long? Did I do something too wrong? Do u not like my song? |
|
I know I sing out of tune. I can auto fix it real soon. |
|
I'm just a bass player not a singer. Not a talker just a thinker. |
|
I guess I'll think for 2 beats. |
|
1, 2 that was fun. Now I'm done. |
|
Why u have to call me that name? |
|
Can't u see that we're all the same? |
|
Well if u can't see it who's the blame? |
|
Just because I'm darker and u're lighter |
|
Doesn't make me wronger and u righter. |
|
Sometimes I laugh and I don't know why for |
|
But I know I don't wanna cry no more. |
|
Uh Oh. Gotta go. Somebody's knocking at my door. |
|
And it's time that we all get along |
|
'Cause I'm tired of singing this song! |
|
(Chorus) |
