People Are People (Live in Sporthalle, Hamburg, 9th December 1984)

Lyrics

[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 [Verse 2: Dave Gahan (Martin L. Gore)] 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 (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? "Yeah!" [Outro: Martin L. Gore ("Dave Gahan")] I can't understand "More!" What makes a man Hate another man Help me understand I can't understand "Yeah" 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 (People are people) What makes a man Hate another man (Why should it be?) Help me understand I can't understand (People are people) What makes a man Hate another man (Why should it be?) Help me understand I can't understand (People are people) What makes a man Hate another man (Why should it be?) Help me understand I can't understand (People are people) What makes a man Hate another man (Why should it be?) Help me understand I can't understand (People are people) What makes a man Hate another man (Why should it be?) Help me understand "Yeah!" "Thank you!"
