Why Can't we Just Get Along                                           By David Michael Jackson Everybody is talking nobody is listening and the talking heads all talk at once. The jobs went north, the jobs went south and the Chinese just bought Vermont. Oh my grass is long and my neighbors must hate me and the money it's almost gone. The car won't run and my underwear scrapes me so why can't we all just get along. We'll just have to get along. Oh the robbers and the bankers all got together and decided to write us all a loan.. Now big empty houses  have broken windows and nobody, nobody is at home. Oh the jobs went north and the jobs went south and we went shopping at China Mart. We'll be here 'till the money runs out and then we'll be moving along. And we'll get us an F-150 truck, put a dresser and a box springs in the back. We'll head out west to look for work, We'' drive to California and back. Oh my grass is long and my neighbors must hate me and the money it's almost gone. The car won't run and my underwear scrapes me so why can't we all just get along. We'll just have to get along.
