people are people

People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
So were different colours
And were different creeds
And different people have different needs
Its obvious you hate me
Though Ive done nothing wrong
Ive never even met you so what could I have done
I cant understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
Help me understand
Now youre punching
And youre kicking
And youre shouting at me
Im relying on your common decency
So far it hasnt surfaced
But Im sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From your head to your fists
