People Like Us Lyrics - Talking Heads

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.
