Chorus:
Am
People are people so why should it be,
F                             Dm    C
You and I should get along so awfully?
Am
People are people so why should it be,
F                             Dm    C
You and I should get along so awfully?

    Am
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?

F                Dm
I can't understand,
              F
What makes a man
              G
hate another man
help me understand.

Chorus

(Help me understand)
(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

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

Chorus

I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
(Why should it be?)
Help me understand
I can't understand
What makes a man
(Why should it be?)
Hate another man
Help me understand
I can't understand
What makes a man
(Why should it be?)
Hate another man
Help me understand
