| 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) |
