Brother please don't turn your back on me
I was once just like you but I've fallen through the cracks of society
Why can't anyone just lend a hand
Doesn't anybody care, doesn't someone understand
We should be ashamed because we lay the blame
Not on ourselves but on this day and age

Chorus:
What's wrong with everybody
Why can't anybody get along
Well I think we've got a problem
We've got to help each other out or we'll never figure out
What's wrong with everybody

Five o'clock another traffic jam
All lanes merge to one and it seems like no one gives a damn
Why can't we just let each other in
But we cut each other off and we just keep on driving

We should be ashamed because we lay the blame
Not on ourselves but on this day and age

(Chorus)

Why can't everyone just live in peace
Well we've got to pull together and put an end to this insanity
Why can't everyone just lend a hand
Doesn't anybody care, doesn't someone give a damn

(Chorus)
