People Are People Ukulele Chords with Downloadable PDF
People are People by Depeche Mode may have been released back in 1984, but its message still resonates today. The song, with its upbeat synth-pop melody, reminds us that no matter our race, gender, sexuality, or nationality, we are all human beings deserving of respect and dignity. It’s a call for equality and understanding, something that is certainly still needed in today’s world. The chorus is simple yet powerful: “People are people, so why should it be, you and I should get along so awfully.” It’s a message that we can never hear enough, and Depeche Mode’s timeless anthem serves as a great reminder of that.
