People Are People

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

Verse 1
So we're different colors
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

Bridge
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand

Verse 2
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 fists
