Lyric People Are People

People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
(Repeat)

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
(Repeat)

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 fists

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
(Repeat)

I can t understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
(Repeat til end)
