LYRICS:
Oh,
Somebody tell me
Tell me why? Tell me why? Tell me why?
Why can't we live together?
Tell me why? Tell me why? Tell me why?
Why can't we live together?
Everybody wants to live together
Why can’t we be together?
Everybody wants to live together
Why can’t we live together?
Oh yeah
No more war, no more war, no more war
Just a little peace in this world
No more war, no more war, no more war
Why can’t we have peace in this world?
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we live together?
Got to live, got to live, got to live
Oh, we got to live together
Oh yeah
Got to live, got to live, hey
Why can’t we live together?
No matter, no matter, no matter what color
You know you’re still my brother
No matter, no matter, no matter what color
Yeah, you’re still my brother
Now everybody wants to live together
Why can't we live together?
Everybody wants to live together
Why can’t we live together?
Tell me why? Tell me why? Tell me why?
Why can’t we live together?
No more war, no more war, no more war
You know, we’ve got to find some peace in this world
No matter, no matter, no matter what color
Yeah, you’re still my brother
Tell me why? Tell me why?
Why can’t we live together?
No, we’ve got to find some peace, got to find some peace

First saw you in the 70's. Fitting then that you are so seamlessly keeping vintage tunes like this alive, John. Thank you! Hi from PA!
Great Tune John Oates
& Great Vocals.
Everyone gonna like
This Song. EveryONE..
✌️. AWESOME
Love it. Gonna learn this one.. Thx for the Great Sounds, Music to my Ears 🎶👂🎶 👍
I knew you could slay this classic gem. Great job John.
Really enjoyed John's concert in Waukegan Il. All the news songs are great, but I especially liked this one. John's voice has gotten even better over the years and he can really play the guitar well. I was very lucky to meet him after the show and he was so kind as he signed his memoir book for me. He truly appreciates his fans.
Debuted on my weekly personal music charts in March 19, 2023 edition :)
Great rendition of this song. Such an important message
Amazing song ,amazing peace 's message John 💖💖💖👍👍👍
John give us a new album in this style 🙏
This song still holds relevance today. Nice job John!
I didn't know this song, but you made me love it. I pray that war will be a thing of the past.
Thanks John! We need more of this music. Was reading about your days in Philly w Daryl at the Schubert bldg. Dee Dee Sharp, Chubby Checker, Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff. Y'all are trailblazers! Keep the faith!
This is the first time I’m hearing this song ❤lyric video

Amazing 💞✨
The beginning is heavenly, this version gives me "What's going on" album vibes!
Only individuals who “Choose” will do so. It’s not a Racial issue. It is Good loving people choosing to Live together. Don’t give a voice to those who don’t…
Maybe one day
Because they don't want us to live together. You did great with the song though.
Brave choice to cover such a distinctive classic, John, but kudos to your cover. 50 years on , the lyrics still resonate. Depressing that a warmongering neofascist dictator again threatens democracy in Europe and that socially progressive advances are being attacked in the USA and in the UK too. But as Desmond Tutu said, 'Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.'
