People Like Us Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[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 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 [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
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

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
I believe in people like us
