A Perfect Circle: "People Are People" Lyrics

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

What could I have done



La, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la



People are people

So why should it be

You and I shouldnt get along

People are people

So why should it be

You should hate mePeople are people

So why should it be

You and I shouldnt get along

People are people

So why should it be

You should hate me



You're punching, kicking

And you're shouting at me

And I'm relying on your common decency

La, la. la, la. la

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



Can't understand what makes a man

Hate another man

Help me understand



People are people

So why should it be

You and I shouldnt get along

People are people

So why should it be

You should hate mePeople are people

So why should it be

You and I shouldnt 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
