People Are People Lyrics
We're different colours
And 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
What could I have done?
People are people so why should it be
You and I shouldn't get along
People are people so why should it be
You should hate me
(x2)
Punching and 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 fist
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people so why should it be
You and I shouldn't get along
People are people so why should it be
You should hate me
(x2)
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
(x3)
And 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
What could I have done?
You and I shouldn't get along
People are people so why should it be
You should hate me
(x2)
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 fist
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
You and I shouldn't get along
People are people so why should it be
You should hate me
(x2)
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
(x3)

Depeche Mode has APC writen all over it.. they could just cover their cd.. and not have to change the sound all that much, really.
Great song.
i'd have to say i completely disagree with marceldwayne, this song isn't saying violence is necessary, because it's not. i mean, if everyone was like me, there would be no violence(not that i'm saying everyone should be like me). although i do think there will always be violence, i also know that anyone as an individual is capable of resolving their problems without violence, even though they may still become the victims of it. to me, this song is making fun of people who try to conform to cultures, because that is a very strong cause of the ignorance that leads to violence. just my opinion, don't rape me, please.
Aww. No one's going to rape you, that's a good interpretation. ♥

I love how both Billy and Maynard sing on this one. You can't go wrong covering Depeche Mode. Not the best track on the CD in my opinion, but a strong one.
This song is amazing, you can learn so much more from it, by noticing how it was created differently the depeche mode version.
If you compare the feels of both songs. ull notice that maynard is making somewhat of a mockery of Gore's lyrics. When Al gore sings the song he leaves it with a sad whiny feal, as if it pains him that ppl hurt him etc... like the little homo he was.., As maynard sings the same words, he changes the fealing into a tone which somewhat Mocks Gore's intentions. As if to say that it is Naive to think that humans can go without violence.
it focuses around a realistic concept. That human nature can never be fixed and that violence is there to stay.
oh damn, I'm sorry to hear that...violence...You're kidding right?
first off phil, you are a moron APC are great, and they do write their own music. You should expect to see a few covers on a COVER album. this song is great we can learn something from it.
Actually, I was busy having a meaningful and productive life, full of experiences and memories to cherish in my old age. Thank you for asking, your concern only heightens the orgasmic joy that I feel.
Yes, I said orgasmic.
gotta love the 'la, la, la's" by danny and maynard good message - not so good a song
and its so ironic that people are ripping out each other throats on their opinions over This song..come on people
