People Are People

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 we're different colours, and we're 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

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 take 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

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

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

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
