People Are People [On-USound Mix]

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]

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)

Help me understand (Help me understand)

(Help me understand)

[Interlude: Dave Gahan]

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

Decency (Decency)

So far it hasn't surfaced, but I'm sure it exists (So far it hasn't surfaced, but I'm sure it exists)

It just takes a while to travel from your head to your fi... (It just takes a while to travel from your head to your fi...)

[Interlude: Martin L. Gore]

(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

[Interlude]

[Coda: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]

People are people

Why should it be?

People are people

Why should it b...?

People are people

Why should it be?

People are people

Why should it be?

People are people

Why should it be?

People are people

Why should it be?

People are people

Why should it be?

People are people

Why should it be?
