Depeche Mode - People Are People Lyrics






People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

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

I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand

Help me understand

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

    Unofficial Official White Boy song?

  30. l.... o....

    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?

    So we're different colors, and we're different breeds
    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 I could I have done?

    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 should get along so awfully?
    People are people so why should it be
    You and I should get along so awfully?

    Help me understand (help me understand)
    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 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 should get along so awfully?
    People are people so why should it be
    You and I should get along so awfully?

    I can't understand what make a man hate another man
    Help me understand
    I can't understand what make a man hate another man
    Help me understand
    I can't understand what make a man hate another man
    Help me understand
    I can't understand what make a man hate another man
    Help me understand
    I can't understand what make a man hate another man
    Help me understand
    I can't understand what make a man hate another man
    Help me understand

    Я эту песню сука с 2013 года искал ,когда в рекламе про машину услышал

  32. A.... W....

    Go play this for Donald J Trump.

  33. A.... W....

    This song just as relevant for today's world.

  34. A.... W....

    Most likely an anti war song judging from the video.

  35. B.... M....

    2020 anyone?

  36. C.... R....

    "And different people have different needs."
    I wonder how many people knew what this lyric meant in 1984...

  37. A.... G....

    My mother alwayd heard it when i was bout' 5/6 years, now im 20 and listen it to myself

  38. s.... 3....

    Once the greatest band in the universe.

  39. B.... L....

    did you know popo comes from the first two letters of POLICE? But the butt end of that joke is the white stuff we all hate in our beautiful hair - LICE... PO... LICE. So therefore the shampoo, or the fake poo, the thick muccusy stuff that looks like poopy but is not but we put into our hair to wash it, called Head and Shoulders means... .mind the head of opposition and shoulders is for bumping people randomly even in civilized meetings to get a point across especially on Congress.. "he just bumped into her clumsily and now is in prison, what a witch!". I like debunking things such as that Canadians are peacekeepers. Look for it on snopes. :)

  40. B.... L....

    do you thing. people are people. do your thing. people are people. do your thing. people are people. do your thing thing. people are people's people. but beasts are people, too. do your thing and beasts do theirs. people are people.

  41. B.... L....

    we are all one race, the human race.

  42. b.... ....

    Doubt you'd be allowed to film a music video in a working submarine these days

  43. T.... M....

    Truly hope mates all of over 20M viewers here feel the same that People are People: One Earth. One Life. One Music!✌️🏻

  44. R.... C....

    People are people really sounds like tears for fears. The voices. The sound. The music. Tears for fears.!!.

  45. D.... W....

  48. J.... B....

    Such a great song one of my top 10 favorite songs by Depeche Mode, I wish they would play it in concert.

    J.... B....

    unfortunately this song is one of Martin Gore's least favorite songs and wasn't very happy that there weren't any metaphors to the lyrics like he intended.

  49. O.... T....

    Clasic D.M

  50. S.... J....

  67. n.... s....

    this is a good message for us all over the world

  68. X.... d....

    Gotta love all these people telling you what this song is about even know they honestly have no clue what they are talking about. Seriously people it's not real hard to understand the message this song it trying to get across all on your own. Treat people like people. End of message. We are all human, so try to treat one another as if they were your family, because if you go far enough back in time I'm pretty sure we are a more closely related then you would think.

    This song is still so relatable to this day. What DOES make a man hate another man?????
