Why Can't We All Just Get a Long Neck

There's crime in the city streets
Always trouble in the Middle East
Howd they let things get so out of hand?
Just watchin' the evening news
That would give anybody the blues
The more I know, I think the less I understand

Oh, why cant we all just get a long neck
And make a toast to peace and harmony?
Why, why cant we all just get a long neck
And see how good getting along might be?

Id like buy the world a round
In a honky tonk on neutral ground
Where we can see, inside were all the same
Pop a top and let the good times pour
'Til we forget what we was fightin' for
Ill ask again, can someone please explain?

Why cant we all just get a long neck
And make a toast to peace and harmony?
Why, why cant we all just get a long neck
And see how good getting along might be?

As different as we may be
Were all one big family
If we just agree
Were gonna disagree

Why cant we all just get a long neck
And make a toast to peace and harmony?
Why, why cant we all just get a long neck
And see how good getting along can be?
And see how good getting along could be?
