People Like Us

Mike's a pipeline welder
Kim's a drive-thru teller
Johnny's a drug dealer
Bob's a concerete 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 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

We wear Jordans we wear flip-flops
We wear wing tips and Lucheses with tube socks
And we wear high heels, and we wear work boots
But we won't even know each other
Until we walk a mile in each other's shoes

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

We can point the finger
Here'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 gods children
If we're willing
We can be building a tomorrow we can trust
But it's up to people like us

I believe in people like us
