People Like Us lyrics
Song information
Artist: Talking Heads Album: True Stories
Lyrics
In 1950 when I was born Papa couldn't afford to buy us much He said be proud of what you are There's something special 'bout people like us
People like us (Who will answer the telephone) People like us (Growing as big as a house) People like us (Gonna make it because)
We don't want freedom We don't want justice We just want someone to love Someone to love I was 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 And times were hard for people like us
People like us (Who will answer the telephone) People like us (Growing as big as a house) People like us (Gonna make it because)
We don't want freedom We don't want justice We just want someone to love Someone to love
What good is freedom? God laughs at people like us 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 waitin' on love 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) We don't want freedom We don't want justice We just want someone to love
Someone to love Someone to love Someone to love
