People Are People Songtext
von Depeche Mode

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 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?

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) help me understand


And 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 (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

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

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

I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
