War protest: Sade's "Why Can't We Live Together?"

As one of the most unique sounds that came out in the 1980s is the group from Britain, Sade. The song written by Timmy Thomas, "Why can't we live together?", beautifully performed by Sade in their Diamond Life album, still fascinates and the lyrics ring true.

Sade (collectively, the vocalist Sade Adu and her band) composed 8 out of 9 tracks in their award-winning debut album, Diamond Life (1984). What grabs your attention is not only the singer's stunning looks and cool vocals, but also the band's music itself - rhythmic style, laden with jazz and African beat. Seen as sexy and intelligent, Sade have enjoyed a great success in the U.S. and Europe.

Like most anti-war rock & roll songs, "Why can't we live together?"
contains simple lyrics to remember and a clear message: World Peace. Unlike most anti-war songs, this song delivers an unforgettable percussion buildup and instrumental accompaniment.

It's a classic.

"Why Can't We Live Together"

Tell me why tell me why tell me why
Umm why can't we live together
Tell me why tell me
Umm why can't we live together
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together

No more war no more war no more war
Umm just a little peace
No more war no more war all we want
Is some peace in this world

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together

No matter no matter what color
Umm you are still my brother
I said no matter no matter what color
Umm you are still my brother

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together

Everybody wants to live
Everybody's got to be together
Ooh everybody wants to live
Everybody's got to be together

Ooh Ooh laaa laa laa laa
Everybody's got to be together
Everybody wants to be together

I said no matter no matter what color
Umm you are still my brother
I said no matter no matter what color
You are still my brother

Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together

Gotta live together
Together!
