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)
 You and I should get along so awfully (awfully)
 People are people so why should it be (why should it be)
 You and I should get along so awfully
 So now there's different colours
 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)
 You and I should get along so awfully (awfully)
 People are people so why should it be (why should it be)
 You and I should get along so awfully
 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)
 You and I should get along so awfully (awfully)
 People are people so why should it be (why should it be)
 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)
 You and I should get along so awfully (awfully)
 People are people so why should it be (why should it be)
 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
 Can't we get along, 'cause people are people
 (Can't you understand) why should it be
 That we get along so awfully
 (Can't you understand) why should it be
 Can't we get along, 'cause people are people
