Why Can'T We Just Get Along.

They killed my father,my mother my brother my son We started it first, they say For them its retaliation but come what may Why can't we all just get along? War continues unabated Nobody wins both sides lose no one calls a truce the battle rages on. Send in more troops Spread them far and wide Corner the enemy in a rushing tide of semi-automatics and bombs occupy others in erecting tombs. is that what it takes? Why can't we just get along? When life is over and you stand before God what wil your answer be to.......... What have you done my son? I sent souls to thy Kingdom? Be careful what you think Be careful what you say Be careful what you do 'Cause your life's review will be all about you. Please just try to get along.
