People Are People Lyrics

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 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

 

 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
