Can't you understand what makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people so why should it be (why should it be)
You and I should get along so awfully (awfully)
People are people so why should it be (why should it be)
You and I should get along so awfully
So now there's different colours
And there's different breeds
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
Can't you understand what makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people so why should it be (why should it be)
You and I should get along so awfully (awfully)
People are people so why should it be (why should it be)
You and I should get along so awfully
So now you're punching and you're kicking
And you're screaming at me
You're relying on my common decency
I know it hasn't surfaced but I'm sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel from my head to my fist (boom)
Can't you understand what makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people so why should it be (why should it be)
You and I should get along so awfully (awfully)
People are people so why should it be (why should it be)
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people
Why should it be (why should it be)
That we get along so awfully
Why should it be (why should it be)
That we get along so awfully
Can't you understand what makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
Can't you understand what makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people so why should it be (why should it be)
You and I should get along so awfully (awfully)
People are people so why should it be (why should it be)
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people
Why should it be (why should it be)
That we get along so awfully
(Can't you understand) why should it be
Can't we get along, 'cause people are people
(Can't you understand) why should it be
That we get along so awfully
(Can't you understand) why should it be
Can't we get along, 'cause people are people
