CHORUS:
Broken-down communication
Tangled lines causing confusion
Seems we‘ve lost a good connection (Eph 4:26)
Cutting short our conversation (Prov 15:23)
Broken-down communication
Tangled lines causing confusion (2Cor 6:7)
We can‘t read minds so the solution
Is you‘ve got to say what‘s on your mind (Col 4:6).
You‘ve got to say what‘s on your mind (Eph 4:26)
If you do not, it would be a crime (Eph 4:27)
To bridle your tongue through the passage of time
It will ferment like a bitter wine (Prov 12:18)
And if there is no one in whom you confide (James 5:16)
The pressure will keep building up inside (Prov 15:1)
You better prepare for the rising tide (Prov 18:21)
From this explosion no man can hide (Ecc 9:17 & Eph 4:29)
(Chorus)
I used to be tight with them (Psalm 41:9)
But then me a fight with them (Psalm 41:7)
And quarrel all night with them (Psalm 35:1)
So things nah gone right with them
I used to be strong with them and sing out a song with them
(Psalm 55:12-14)
But things them gone wrong with them, So mi nah go-long with them
(Psalm 1:1)
I used to be right
And then I‘d be wrong
Sometimes I‘d be weak
Then times I‘d be strong
So full of pride-And then knocked down (1Pet 5:5-6)
Why can‘t we all just get along?
Why can‘t we just get along?
(Chorus)
Well you‘ve to tell me what is wrong (Prov 25:11)
I can‘t figure out why your face is so long
I know you hold in your feelings so strong
But please just tell me what‘s goin‘ on (Ecc 3:7)
Because miscommunication cause assumption and misinterpretation--you
draw the wrong conclusion
So tell me if I‘m truly your friend (Eph 4:26)
This guessing game has to end.
(Chorus)
Well you‘ve got to say
You got to say
What‘s on your mind (Prov 15:1)
I used to be good with them (Psalm 55:12-13)
And eat up a food with them
But things them gone rude with them
Me fight the whole brood of them (Psalm 5:9)
I used to be cool with them
And sit in a school with them (Psalm 55:14)
But things them turn cruel With them
So me nah-go fool with them
I used to be right
And then I‘d be wrong
Sometimes I‘d be weak
Then times I‘d be strong
So full of pride (1Peter 3:8)
And then knocked down (Eph 4:2)
Why can‘t we all just get along?
You‘ve got to say
You got to say
What‘s on your mind (Ecc 3:7).
