[Chorus 1][x2]
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?
[Verse 1]
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?
[Chorus 2]
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man?
Help me understand
[Chorus 1][x2]
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
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 1][x2]
[Chorus 2][x6]
