People are people why should it be You and I should get along so awfully So we're different colours we're different creeds 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 Hate another man Help me understand And 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 take a while to travel from your head to your fist "I can't understand What makes a man"
