People Are People
Can't you understand
What makes a man
Hate another man?
Help me understand
People are people
So why should it be (why should it be?)
That you and I should get along so awfully? (So awfully)
People are people
So why should it be
That you and I should get along so awfully? (Oh, oh, oh)
So now there's different colors
And there's different breeds
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?
Can't you understand
What makes a man
Hate another man?
Help me understand
People are people
So why should it be (why should it be?)
That you and I should get along so awfully? (So awfully)
People are people
So why should it be
That you and I should get along so awfully? (Oh, oh, oh)
So now you're punching
And you're kicking
And you're screaming at me
You're relying on my common decency
I know it hasn't surfaced
But I'm sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From my head to my fist (boom)
Can't you understand
What makes a man
Hate another man?
Help me understand
People are people
So why should it be (why should it be?)
That you and I should get along so awfully? (So awfully)
People are people
So why should it be
That you and I should get along so awfully?
People are people
Why should it be (why should it be?)
That we get along so awfully?
Why should it be (why should it be?)
That we get along so awfully?
Can't you understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
Can't you understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people
So why should it be (why should it be?)
That you and I should get along so awfully? (So awfully)
People are people
So why should it be
That you and I should get along so awfully?
People are people
Why should it be (why should it be?)
That we get along so awfully?
Can't you understand
Why should it be (why should it be?)
Can't we get along 'cause people are people
Can't you understand
Why should it be (why should it be?)
That we get along so awfully?
(Can't you understand)
Why should it be (why should it be?)
(Can't you understand)
Can we get along 'cause people are people?
