People Are People lyrics

People are people
so why
should it be

You and I should
get along so awfully

People are people
so why
should it be

You and I should
get along
so awfully

So we're
different colours
and we're
different creeds

And different people
have different needs

It's obvious
you hate me
though I've done
nothing wrong

I've never even
met you so what
could I have done?

I can't understand
what makes a man

Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people
so why
should it be

You and I
should get along
so awfully

People are people
so why
should it be

You and I
should get along
so awfully

Help me
understand

Help me
understand

Now you're punching
and you're kicking
and you're shouting
at me

I'm relying
on your
common decency

So far it
hasn't surfaced
but I'm sure
it exists

It just takes a while
to travel from
your head
to your fist

I can't understand
what makes
a man

Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people
so why
should it be

You and I
should get along
so awfully

People are people
so why
should it be

You and I
should get along
so awfully

I can't understand
what makes a man

Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
what makes a man

Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
what makes a man

Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
what makes a man

Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
what makes a man

Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
what makes a man
