What does "Deep inside, were people too" mean?

Context:

Doctors by Dean Thorpe

Nasty tablets, side effects.
Moody people, emotional wrecks.
Deep inside, were people too.
Even when, were feeling blue.
Doctors comment, think they know.
Expose our lifes, pain we show.
Lifes a ***, in the end.
See us vanish, round the bend.

There are mistakes there. You have found a pretty bad example of English poetry, but I am comforted to know that there are Englishmen as bad as any American in this regard, so, thanks for that. "Were" should be "we're".
