People Are People Songtext / Lyric

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

People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along
People are people
So why should it be
You should hate me

People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along
People are people
So why should it be
You should hate me

You're punching
And you're kicking
And you're shouting at me
And 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
People are people
So why should it be
You should hate me

People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along
People are people
So why should it be
You should hate me

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
