People Are People

People Are People
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?
So 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 never even met you, so what could I have done?

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 so awfully?
Help me understand
Now 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 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 so awfully?
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand (people are people)
What makes a man (Why should it be?)
Hate another man
Help me understand...
