[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

[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 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

[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, there's enough blame to go around
I wonder what would happen if we turned that finger around?

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
I believe in people like us
