People Are People

We're different colors
And 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 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 and 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

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

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
