People Like Us
Mike's a pipeline welder
Kim's a drive-through 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
People like us watch the blues on TV
Get so angry, blame it on D.C.
People like us, all God's children
If we're willin', we can be buildin' a tomorrow we can trust
But it's up to people like us (ah)
We wear Jordans, and we wear flip-flops
We wear wing-tips 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
People like us watch the blues on TV
Get so angry, blame it on D.C.
People like us, all God's children
If we're willin', we can be buildin' a tomorrow we can trust
But it's up to people like us
We can point the finger, there's enough blame to go around
I wonder what would happen if we turned that finger around
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 willin', we can be buildin' a tomorrow we can trust
But it's up to people like us
I believe in people like us
Kim's a drive-through 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
People like us watch the blues on TV
Get so angry, blame it on D.C.
People like us, all God's children
If we're willin', we can be buildin' a tomorrow we can trust
But it's up to people like us (ah)
We wear Jordans, and we wear flip-flops
We wear wing-tips 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
People like us watch the blues on TV
Get so angry, blame it on D.C.
People like us, all God's children
If we're willin', we can be buildin' a tomorrow we can trust
But it's up to people like us
We can point the finger, there's enough blame to go around
I wonder what would happen if we turned that finger around
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 willin', we can be buildin' a tomorrow we can trust
But it's up to people like us
I believe in people like us
