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
