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 in different colors and with 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?

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.

People are people so why should it be?
You and I should get along so awfully.

Help me understand!
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.

You and I should get along so awfully.

What makes a man,
Hate another man,
