[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
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?
[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
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?
[Pre-Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
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?
[Post-Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
(Help me understand)
(Help me understand, help me understand)
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Martin L. Gore]
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
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?
[Refrain: Martin L. Gore]
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
[Refrain: Martin L. Gore]
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
[Refrain: Martin L. Gore]
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
[Refrain: Martin L. Gore, (Dave Gahan)]
I can't understand
What makes a man (Why should it be?)
Hate another man
Help me understand (People are people)
[Refrain: Martin L. Gore, (Dave Gahan)]
I can't understand
What makes a man (Why should it be?)
Hate another man
Help me understand (People are people)
[Refrain: Martin L. Gore, (Dave Gahan)]
I can't understand
What makes a man (Why should it be?)
Hate another man
Help me understand (People are people)
