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?
