We Can Be Together Lyrics

We Can Be Together
Ah you and me
We should be together

We are all outlaws in the eyes of America
In order to survive we steal cheat lie forge fred hide and deal
We are obscene lawless hideous dangerous dirty violent and young
But we should be together
Come on all you people standing around
Our life's too fine to let it die and
We can be together

All your private property is
Target for your enemy
And your enemy is
We
We are forces of chaos and anarchy
Everything they say we are we are
And we are very
Proud of ourselves

Up against the wall
Up against the wall fred (motherfucker)
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls

Come on now together
Get it on together
Everybody together
We should be together
We should be together my friends
We can be together
We will be

We must begin here and now
A new continent of earth and fire
Come on now gettin higher and higher
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Won't you try

We Can Be Together Song Chart

This was the first track on the album, and released as the B-side for their more well-known "Volunteers." It didn't chart.

Due to Jefferson Airplane's experience and popularity among the American youth, they were granted complete artistic control for the Volunteers album. They exercised it here with a chorus of "Up against the wall, motherf--kers" that became a rallying cry for the counterculture.

One of the first recorded uses of the word "f--k."

On a previous album, After Bathing at Baxter's, they battled with their record company, RCA, over the use of the word "s--t." It was deleted from the lyric sheet.

The (uncensored) performance of this song for The Dick Cavett Show episode broadcast on August 19, 1969 marked the first time that the "f-word" was ever said/sung on television. Apparently, Cavett was asked to make a pre-show disclaimer statement before the broadcast. (thanks, Tony - Westbury, NY)
