Lyrics:

We're different colors

And 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



People are people

So why should it be

You and I shouldn't get along

People are people

So why should it be

You should hate me

People are people

So why should it be

You and I shouldn't get along

People are people

So why should it be

You should hate me



Punching and 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 shouldn't get along

People are people

So why should it be

You should hate me

People are people

So why should it be

You and I shouldn't get along

People are people

So why should it be

You should hate me



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
