People Are People

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 awfully 

So were different colours
 And were different creeds
 And different people
 Have different needs
 Its obvious you hate me
 Though Ive done nothing wrong
 Ive never even met you
 So what could I have done
 I cant 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
 People are people
 So why should it be
 You and I should get along so awfully
 Help me understand
 Help me understand 

Now youre punching
 And youre kicking
 And youre shouting at me
 And Im relying on your common decency
 So far it hasnt surfaced
 But Im sure it exists
 It just takes a while to travel
 From your head to your fist (head to your fists)
 I cant 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
 People are people
 So why should it be
 You and I should get along so awfully 

I cant understand
 What makes a man
 Hate another man
 Help me understand
 I cant understand
 What makes a man
 Hate another man
 Help me understand
 I cant understand
 What makes a man
 Hate another man
 I cant understand (people are people)
 What makes a man (why should it be)
 Hate another man
 Help me understand...
