People Like Us - Intellectual

[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

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 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

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, 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 willing, we can be building a tomorrow we can trust

But it's up to people like us

I believe in people like us
