Depeche Mode People Are People Lyrics

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've never ever 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...



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 fists



I can't understand

What makes a man

Hate another man

Help me understand
