Why Can't We All Just Get a Long Neck?

Hank Williams, Jr.

Transposer:

There's crime in the city streets always trouble in the Middle East  How'd we let things get so outta hand Just watchin' the evenin' news that would give anybody the blues The more I know I think the less I understand.  Oh Why Can't We All Just Get A Long Neck And make a toast to peace and harmony  Why Why Can't We All Just Get A Lo-ng Neck And see how good gettin' along might be. I'd like to buy the world around In a honky-tonk on neutral ground Where we can see inside were all the same Pop a top and let the good times pour Till we forget what we was fightin' for I'll ask again can someone please explain.  Oh Why Can't We All Just Get A Long Neck And make a toast to peace and harmony  Why Why Can't We All Just Get A Lo-ng Neck And see how good gettin' along might be. As different as we may be were all one big family Can't we all just agree we gonna disagree. Why Can't We All Just Get A Long Neck And make a toast to peace and harmony  Why Why Why Can't We All Just Get A Lo-ng Neck And see how good gettin' along can be. And see how good gettin' along could be. We got Thibay-deaux Fountaineaux join the buzzin' Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen Dressin' in style an gettin' kinda wild me oh my oh Son of a gun we'll have a little fun on the bayou. Jambalaya a-crawfish pie and-a fillet gumbo Because tonight I'm gonna see my machez amio (that's sweetheart) Pick guitar fill fruit jar and do a little danceo Gonna pass a good time on the bayou.              

Du même artiste :

La chanson parle des conflits et des tensions qui émaillent notre société, tant au niveau local qu'international. L'artiste exprime un désir de paix et de compréhension, se demandant pourquoi il est si difficile pour les gens de s’entendre, même lorsqu'ils partagent des racines communes. Il propose une vision où, autour d'un verre, on pourrait se rassembler pour célébrer nos similitudes plutôt que de se concentrer sur nos différences. Le contexte évoqué soulève des préoccupations sur la violence et la discorde que l'on observe dans les actualités, tout en suggérant que l'alcool pourrait servir de catalyseur pour rassembler les gens et les pousser à oublier momentanément leurs querelles. À travers des images de festivités et de camaraderie, il souhaite rappeler que, malgré nos divergences, nous faisons tous partie d'une même grande famille humaine.
