People Are People (Live) [Rose Bowl 18/06/88]

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] And 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? [Outro: Martin L. Gore] 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 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 (People are people) What makes a man (Why should it be?) Hate another man Help me understand I can't understand (People are people) What makes a man (Why should it be?) Hate another man Help me understand I can't understand (People are people) What makes a man (Why should it be?) Hate another man Help me understand
