Everyday JACK-fm gets a call or three asking “What Song Was That?”  So, to help you get familiarized (wow, that was a big word for me) with the songs, I thought I’d throw down some info for ya.  Today just before 2pm we played this song….

People Are People By Depeche Mode

The song is from their 1984 album “Some Great Reward”.  You also might remember Master And Servant and Blasphemous Rumors from the same album.  A Perfget Circle did a weird version of this song, and it was a part of the String Quartet Tribute to Depeche ModeThese English dudes have gone on to make killer tunes like Policy of Truth, Personal Jesus, Enjoy the Silence an others…

People are People Lyrics from eLyrics

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 creeds
And different people have different needs
It's obvious you hate me
Though I've done nothing wrong
I've never ever met you so what could I have done

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

People are people...

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
