Can'T We All Just Get Along

Can't We All Just Get Along We need to take a good look from within let me begin Shattered glass blood stained riots in our street Some may seem to far way out of reach Shelter lies dormant amidst it's beckoning plow There is a stirring in the wind a line being drawn in the sand Let me be the first willing to understand the man with the plan In the 70's Joni Mitchell coined the phrase, "We are stardust". Through vast languages in the essential degree This should never fall on deaf ears it's my humble plea The smoke screen is in violation of our trust In a 21st century world that's in to much of a rush We push & shove just to get ahead of what The tear gas blasted makes me want to throw up Can't we all just get along should become our national theme our song Yet we choose to hide behind the false hidden garb of compromise Can't we see through all those shallow lies The famed Rodney King was right on the money honey Take a stand by sticking it to the man with the plan We have come this far not to turn back now There's no use in hanging your head low by looking back at the plow !
