Being At War With Each Other

The Way We Were came out on Columbia Records in 1974 when I was three and a half years old. My mom played the hell outta this one. I loved Barbra Streisand. Babs was my first punk.

Songwriter: Carole King

Everyone comes from
One father one mother
So why do we complicate
Our lives so much
By being at war with each other

Maybe I'm crazy
But I don't understand it
Why do we seem to vote
To dig more holes?
It's such a waste of a planet

There must be a reason
That I can't see
Maybe somebody else knows
better than me

All I know is
Everyone else is
A sister or a brother
So we've got to look around
Again and stop
Being at war with each other

Oh
Maybe I'm crazy
But I don't
No, I don't understand it

There must be a reason

That I can't see
Somebody else must be
Better than me
All I know is
Everyone else is
A sister or brother

So we've got to look around
Again and stop
Being at war with each other
