People are people so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

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 never even met you
So what could I have done

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 should get along so awfully

Help me understand

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 fist

I can´t understand
What makes a man
Hate another man

Help me understand
