A Perfect Circle - People Are People

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?

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

You're punching and 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 fist

I 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
