There's c rime in the city streets always t rouble in the Middle East
How'd we let things get so outta h and
Just watchin' the evenin' news that would g ive anybody the blues
The m ore I know I think the less I unders tand.
Oh W hy Can't We All Just Get A L ong Neck
And m ake a toast to peace and harm ony
Why W hy Can't We All Just Get A L o-ng Neck
And s ee how good gettin' along might b e.
I'd l ike to buy the world around
In a h onky-tonk on neutral ground
Where w e can see inside were all the same
Pop a t op and let the good times pour
Till we forg et what we was fightin' for
I'll a sk again can someone please exp lain.
Oh W hy Can't We All Just Get A L ong Neck
And m ake a toast to peace and harm ony
Why W hy Can't We All Just Get A L o-ng Neck
And s ee how good gettin' along might b e.
As d ifferent as we may be were a ll one big family
C an't we all just agree we gonna disa gree.
W hy Can't We All Just Get A L ong Neck
And m ake a toast to peace and harm ony
Why Why W hy Can't We All Just Get A L o-ng Neck
And s ee how good gettin' along can b e.
And s ee how good gettin' along could b e.
