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 awfullySo we're different colors 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 doneI can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understandPeople 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 awfullyHelp me understand
Help me understandNow 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 fistI can't understand

What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understandPeople 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 awfullyI 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
