We Could Be Friends

If I didn’t hate you so much, we could be friends If I didn’t hate you so much, we could be friends Different sides of the spectrum different sides of the aisle but if we ever got together we might just make each other smile If we ever had a coffee and talked it all out then we figure out what the fighting's about We were groomed to dislike each other from the start But how different are we we both have a heart Your beliefs don't mirror mine and we don't dress the same We both worship God by a different name If I didn’t hate you so much, we could be friends If I didn’t hate you so much, we could be friends I was born here you came from afar I spoke English from the time I could walk You grew up in poverty and I with too much But we both have talents and desires and such You believe in abstinence and I in choice You think less of women and i have a voice I believe in equality and you’re anti-gay I’m against guns you support the nra If I didn’t hate you so much, we could be friends If I didn’t hate you so much, we could be friends The hatred that we have eats us inside Neither one will give in as we both have our pride If we lay down our weapons then we appear weak I won't be the first to turn the other cheek Our colors maybe different but our blood is the same Our presidents have issues maybe they are to blame If we stood together not on opposite sides Think of all the progress heal our country's divide If I didn’t hate you so much, we could be friends If I didn’t hate you so much, we could be friends If I didn’t hate you so much, we could be friends If I didn’t hate you so much, we could be friends
