Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh... Oh, yeah Livin' in this crowded world Gets more confusing every day Can you tell me where has love gone? Are we too naïve to see what's going on? When will all the madness end? Has everybody gone insane? No respect for human lives We're out of control And we've got to make a change If we could only try to find right from wrong That's the only way we can all get along Why can't we just live and let live? Do we have to fight with each other? Why can't we just live and let live? Oh, what I give If we could turn things around I know we can find a way, ah, yeah Nations on the brink of war People dying needlessly It's never worth the price that we pay To treat our lives so carelessly Kids are carrying guns to school Wondering if they'll stay alive Angry faces everywhere, nobody cares But we've got to make it right
Why can't we try to be a little more kind Before we all run out of precious time? Why can't we just live and let live? Oh, will we have to fight with each other? Why can't we just live and let live? Oh, what I give If we could turn things around I know we can find a way We could make this world so much better Overnight and wonderfully If everyone would just learn to live Their lives unselfishly Ooh-ooh... Mmm, oh, yeah... Why can't we just live and let live? And let live Must we always fight with each other? Brother, brother, live and let live, oh, yeah We've gotta turn things around I know we can find a better way, oh Must we always fight with each other? Brother, brother, just live and let me live Oh, Lord, yes I know we'll turn things around Together, we'll find a way, ooh... Live and let live
