A song about the 2016 election. Have hope - one day we'll get along.

Lyrics:
I’m a little afraid
With all the suffering around me
How can I go to sleep soundly
When all my brothers are torn apart from hate?

Ohhh..
Ohhhhh…
why can't we get along?

Oh, I know I don’t have all the answers now
But still, I’m sure we’re make things work someway,
Have you no faith in your fellow man?
Why are you trying to pull apart the world again?
Oh, I keep on saying:

Why can’t we get along?
Why can’t we sing the same tune to the same song?
Why can’t we get along?
Why can’t we all try a little harder just to get along?

Working Hard, Playing Hard, Trying Hard,
Pulling tighter on the ropes to make ends meet
Im at the end of the journey, got it all figured out,
But that’s right when the ground falls out from underneath my feet

I could give you suggestions that you would never listen to,
You’d never listen to anyone, it’s sick
I could stage an intervention for your ego
But I’m sure that you’d just reaffirm the size of your dick

You can put on a cap and a fancy suit
And spit out all that hatred that you call the truth
But you don't see the truth, it ain't that hard
You can't bring us together by tearing us apart

Oh, I know it looks like there is no way out
But I look at the other side and I have a little faith
I see us walking straight into the arms of War
Wasn’t it enough for you when it happened before?
Oh, I keep on saying:

Why can’t we get along?
Why can’t we sing the same tune to the same song?
Why can’t we get along?
Why can’t we all try a little harder just to get along?

Yeah, we're trying so desperately 
‘Cause you, me, us, we, you'll see
We're gonna make the world what it's supposed to be

Why can’t we get along?
Why can’t we sing the same tune to the same song?
Why can’t we get along?
Why can’t we all try a little harder just to get along?

From my upcoming album, Same Old Crazy Life. Written for someone with whom I used to be very close. This is without a doubt the most vulnerable, honest piece of songwriting I've ever done.
