People Like Us Lyrics

In 1950 when I was born
Papa couldn't afford to buy us much
He said be proud of what you are
D A | G | % |
There's something special 'bout people like us
People like us
Who will answer the telephone
People like us
Growing big as a house
People like us
Gonna make it because
TURNAROUND
We don't want freedom
We don't want justice
We just wa- a- a- ant someone to love
Someone to love
I's called upon in the 3rd grade class
I gave my answer and it caused a fuss
I'm not the same as ev'ryone else
D A | G | % |
And times were hard for people like us
People like us
Who will answer the telephone
People like us
Growing big as a house
People like us
Gonna make it because
TURNAROUND
We don't want freedom
We don't want justice
We just wa- a- a- ant someone to love
Someone to love
Well now
MIDDLE 8
What good is freedom?
God laughs at people like us
I-I see it coming
Like a light coming down from above
The clouds roll by and the moon comes up
How long must we live in the heat of the sun
Millions of people are waiting on love
D A | G | % |
And this is a song about people like us
People like us
Who will answer the telephone
People like us
Growing big as a house
People like us
Gonna make it because
TURNAROUND (+ coda)
We don't want freedom
We don't want justice
We just wa- a- a- ant someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love
Hey hey hey hey, someone to love
