i just want to say – you know – can we all get along? can we, can we get along? can we stop making it horrible for the older people and the kids? and ... i mean we've got enough smog in los angeles let alone to deal with setting these fires and things ... it's just not right. it's not right and it's not going to change anything. we'll get our justice. they've won the battle, but they haven't won the war. we'll get our day in court and that's all we want. and, just, uh, i love – i'm neutral. i love every – i love people of color. i'm not like they're making me out to be. we've got to quit. we've got to quit; i mean after all, i could understand the first – upset for the first two hours after the verdict, but to go on, to keep going on like this and to see the security guard shot on the ground – it's just not right. it's just not right, because those people will never go home to their families again. and uh, i mean please, we can, we can get along here. we all can get along. we just gotta. we gotta. i mean, we're all stuck here for a while. let's, you know, let's try to work it out. let's try to beat it, you know. let's try to work it out.

"get along" has received positive reviews. jamie horne, music journalist for the "border mail" called the song "inspiring" and said it was "a lyrical triumph." take 40 wrote, "it really shows the beautiful timbre of his voice, and has a very inspiring message." cameron adams from the "herald sun" said sebastian's songwriting had matured and that he showed new depth with "get along". music site auspop wrote, "this one is designed to get you thinking. to tap into your emotions. 'get along' is a song about hope, peace and understanding and a dream that perhaps one day we'll all be united, together as one people, one world, despite our differences in opinion, religion, creed and race. [...] good on guy for shining some light and spreading the love." david lim, a music journalist and announcer on radio station joy 94.9, wrote, ""the emotive political ballad 'get along' is possibly the best single sebastian has ever released. i just can't get over how great his observant lyrics about religious wars are. the hook - 'dear god, dear soul, dear mary, mohammed... can we all just get along?' - absolutely rips right through the heart. jessica tisdell from music site novastreamusic said, "the lyrics are definitely heart-warming and send a great message to humanity. you can almost tell that guy's song writing has matured and focuses more on real life rather than recent dance pop songs."
