Depeche Mode - People Are People lyrics

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 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...
