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

[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
