People are people so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
So were different colours
And were different creeds
And different people have different needs
Its obvious you hate me
Though Ive done nothing wrong
I never even met you
So what could I have done
I cant 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
Help me understand
Now youre punching and youre kicking
And youre shouting at me
Im relying on your common decency
So far it hasnt surfaced
But Im sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From your head to your fist
I cant understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
