We're different colors
And different creeds
And different people
Have different needsIt's obvious you hate me
Though I've done nothing wrong
I've never even met you
What could I have done?
(La la la la la la)
( La la la la la la la)People are people
So why should it be?
(You and I shouldn't 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 shouldn't get along)
People are people
So why should it be?
(You should hate me)Punching, kicking
And you're shouting at me
I'm relying on your common
Decency
(La la la la la)So far it hasn't surfaced
But I'm sure it exists
(La la)
It just takes a while
To travel from your head to your fistI can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understandPeople are people
So why should it be?
(You and I shouldn't 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 shouldn't 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 understandI can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understandI can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
