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 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? 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. 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.
