We’re different colors
And 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
What could I have done?
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
People are people, so why should it be?
You and I shouldn’t get along
People are people, so why should it be?
You should hate me
People are people, so why should it be?
You and I shouldn’t get along
People are people, so why should it be?
You should hate me
Punching and kicking
And you’re shouting at me
I’m relying on your common, decency
La, la, la, la
So far it hasn’t surfaced
But I’m sure it exists
Just takes a while, to travel
From your head to your fist
Can’t understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people, so why should it be?
You and I shouldn’t get along
People are people, so why should it be?
You should hate me
People are people, so why should it be?
You and I shouldn’t get along
People are people, so why should it be?
You should hate me
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
