Depeche Mode – People Are People Lyric

aus dem Album Some Great Reward

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 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

Help me understand

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

People are people so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

(until the end)
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
