why can't we be friends (4x)

I seen ya, i seen ya, i seen ya 'round for a long long time
I really, i really, i really remember when you drank my wine

Why can't we be friends (4x)

I seen ya, i seen ya, i seen ya walkin' down in chinatown
I called ya, i called ya, i called but you did not look around
I pay my, i pay my, i pay my money to the welfare line
I seen ya, i seen ya, i seen ya standing in it everytime

Why can't we be friends (4x)

The color, the color, the color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as, as long as, long as we can live in harmony
I kinda, i kinda, i kinda, like to be the president
And i could, and i could, and i could show you how your money's spent

Why can't we be friends (4x)

Sometimes i don't speak right
But did i know what i was talking about
I know you're working for the cia
They wouldn't have you in the mafia

Why can't we be friends (4x)
(repeat to fade)

Why don't you condone it
Why don't you set me free
I don't think you own it
Cause it belongs to me
And if I ever want to take it back
You try to lie and hide it
Look who's laughing last
Everyone around me thinks they know
They try to see it
But I don't let it show
Stay out of my business
Keep your hands off my door
I've got a bed
I'd rather sleep on the floor
Screaming in my head
I don't like it anymore

No place to go
Leave me alone
I don't want to know

Nobody ever seems to understand
Every day I wake up
And do the best that I can
I've got my problems
You've got yours too
You try to label me
Have you ever looked at you
Nobody's perfect
I really think you do
And if you are why am I standing next to you

No place to go
Leave me alone
I don't want to know

I spin my wheels and try to figure it out
What's going on
And what's it all about
Where did I go wrong
I think I'm having my doubts
About what you said
And what you're going to do
I'm so pissed off
I blame it on you
I've done it all
There's nothing left for me to do
What's going on
Piss on you

No place to go
Leave me alone
Don't want to know

Neighbor called my landlord
She said that she was pissed
Up all night making noise
And she can't get no rest
She said we was running a flop house
Full of thieves and thugs
Musicians and hooligans and we were all on drugs
So she got bent and raised the rent
Said it would only take one more
Phone call from my whiny neighbor

What's up with my neighbor
What's it gonna take to get a break
She's got us tiptoeing around in fear
Church mice at St. Leo's down my street
Have moved so far away
She has sent them packing and running scared
How much more does she think we will take

Maybe someday when I'm old and fat and bored
I'll understand why my neighbor makes me feel like hell
I can't even watch TV or sneeze or fart can't even breathe
For fear my landlord will come and ring my bell
How much more does she think we will pay

No more flop house no more fun
I've got a whiny neighbor
I've got a whiny neighbor
Shooting cans with BB guns
I've got a whiny neighbor
I've got a whiny neighbor
She says these punks have to go
I think we're gonna get the old heave ho

Neighbor called my landlord
It was a Sunday afternoon
She couldn't hear the TV set
We were having a barbecue
We were listening to Louis Prima
And drinking Meisterbrau
If she would have come to talk it over
And wasn't a lazy cow
So she got bent she raised the rent
Said it would only take one more
Phone call from my whiny neighbor

Maybe someday when I'm jaded
9 to 5 at a job I hate
I'll come home and razz my neighbors too
But I'd have a strategy
And catch them when the rent is late
And all the other bills are overdue
After all this is the neighborly way

No more music no more fun
I've got a whiny neighbor
I've got a whiny neighbor
Barbecues in the sun
I've got a whiny neighbor
I've got a whiny neighbor
She says that these punks must go
I think we're gonna get the old heave ho

Don't even hide the dog
Or put the bong away
We don't want to live here anyway

Neighbor called my landlord
She said we didn't care
The lawn is dead
Dogs and cats are stinking everywhere
She said that we had crazy parties every night
The yard is littered with bottles and cans
Skateboards and bikes
She didn't get bent
Didn't raise the rent
We only got a note
In 30 days we'll get the old heave ho

WAAAAAOO.....WAAAAAaaAAOO.....

No more music no more fun
I've got a whiny neighbor
I've got a whiny neighbor
Barbecues in the sun
I've got a whiny neighbor
I've got a whiny neighbor
She says that these punks must go
I think we're gonna get the old heave ho

Today you sat up half asleep and stared
Into this cluttered empty apartment and died
What the where the how the why the hell
You can watch your step and still you'll never see the mines

CHORUS:
Stay up man don't drown
It's time to go to town
Today is just another yesterday
You're back in the game again
You're going to win it in the end
Disconnect the dots and be on your way

Every day I see you sinking low
Dragging around like it's the end of the world
She's gone she's gone she's gone man let it go
Cause in the end she didn't turn out to be much of a girl

CHORUS 2:
Stay up man don't sink
Before you have time to blink
Your number one will walk through the door and want to play
You're back in the game again
You're gonna to win it in the end
Disconnect the dots
Disconnect the dots and be on your way

RAP:
Thought you had it good so secure so sure
Looking at the map and didn't see the detour
D.I.V.O.R.C.E. or something of that sort
Disconnect the dots my man the ball's in your court
Get yourself a shave and put on your best hat
The world is your aquarium and you are the cat
So dive right in and don't forget to swim
You're back in the game again

CHORUS:
Stay up man don't drown
It's time to go to town
Today is just another yesterday
You're back in the game again
You're gonna to win it in the end
Disconnect the dots
Disconnect the dots
Disconnect the dots and be on your way

Life imitates the game of chess
You can be the rook or the pawn
But if you have the strategy that's best
You can be the King or in this case the Don
It's easy to get knocked out of the game
Depending on which way you want to play
You've got to have eyes on the back of your head
Now that we have that out of the way

CHORUS:
Rev up the Lincoln
And let's get to drinking some caffeino
Let's go to Nicolletis
Cause he makes a mean spaghetti sauce
I'm a connoisseur of the finer things in life
I'll talk any flick with Al Pacino
I'm a man of respect and I prefer to be addressed as Padrino

If you're the type that likes to spill the beans
You could be a stone in someone's shoe
You'll receive a kiss on each cheek
And then you'll know that pretty soon the stone will be removed
Everyone knows that crime doesn't pay
It doesn't pay the taxes away
You've got to be slick if you don't want it to stick
Now that we have that out of the way

I know it's not a wise thing to do
Writing funny songs about the mob
But if it's all the same to you
I don't see it as a gang but a club
Where men sit like gentlemen
Plotting their events about
Things I shouldn't understand, comprehend or care
Like...oh, I don't know maybe I shouldn't go there
After all it is a family affair

Stay out of the papers
Don't get caught
Leave the singing to Sinatra and always keep your big trap shut
Capice?

The underworld is like an undertow - If you don't respect it
It will surely bring you down - When you least expect it -
Hey expect it from all sides
Once you're in it it's for life
Don't be famous be infamous and you will live to see another day
Be wise about with whom you discuss
Now that we have that out of the way

Why can't we be friends (4x)

I seen ya I seen ya I seen ya 'round for a long long time
I really I really I really remember when you drank my wine

Why can't we be friends (4x)

I seen ya I seen ya I seen ya walkin' down in Chinatown
I called ya I called ya I called but you did not look around
I pay my I pay my I pay my money to the welfare line

She's 15 and she's leaving home
Living on the streets where she don't feel alone
Daddy's always gone and mommy's on the sauce
Living in a mansion it's easy to get lost
She's going to a place where they understand
Baby's on the way her womb's a garbage can

Who said anything about a good life
This one's bad bad bad bad
Gonzo again - just another entry to the neverending story
Wasted again - I think you need a new best friend

Nervous in the alley off the boulevard
Shaking all over and the panic starts
You see she needs to get her prescription filled
And she knows exactly how she'll be billed
Nervous in the alley waiting for a fix
She ain't got no money just a couple of tricks

Who said anything about a charmed life
This one's sad sad sad sad
Gonzo again - just another entry to the neverending story
Wasted again - I think you need a new best friend

Who said anything about a good life
Who said anything about a charmed life
Who said anything about a fair life
It's mad

Dying in the alley waiting for her man
Carrying her child and a sleeping bag
Should have would have could have never crossed her mind
So she passes on to the other side
Here he comes suit shades car and a beeper
Sugar daddy pimp pushing f***ing grim reaper

Who said anything about a fair life
This one's mad mad mad mad
Gonzo again - just another entry to the neverending story
Wasted again - I think you need a new friend
Gonzo again - just another entry to the neverending story
Wasted again - she's got herself a new best friend
