what with the ongoing madness around the blue marble, the following words describe 'em best. nicked off depeche mode's "people are people" though not in it's entirety:
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
...
Now you’re punching
And you’re kicking
And you’re shouting at me
And 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
...
