People Like Us

[Verse 1]

Mike's a pipeline welder, Kim's a drive-thru teller

Johnny's a drug dealer, Bob's a concrete sealer

Terry is a soldier, Tom's a church league bowler

We are liars and lawyers, lovers, sisters, brothers

[Chorus]

People like us watch the blues on TV

Get so angry, blame it on DC

People like us, all God's children

If we're willing, we can be building a tomorrow we can trust

But it's up to people like us

[Verse 2]

We wear Jordans, we wear flip-flops

We wear wingtips and Luccheses with tube socks

And we wear high heels and we wear work boots

But we won't ever know each other 'til we walk a mile in each other's shoes

[Chorus]

People like us watch the blues on TV

Get so angry, blame it on DC

People like us, all God's children

If we're willing, we can be building a tomorrow we can trust

But it's up to people like us

[Bridge]

We can point the finger, there's enough blame to go around

I wonder what would happen if we turned that finger around?

[Chorus]

Yeah, people like us, we're a preacher with a dream

Put a man on the moon, we can do anything

Yeah, people like us, we're all God's children

If we're willing, we can be building a tomorrow we can trust

But it's up to people like us

[Outro]

I believe in people like us
