Pulled me up  
Pulled me up up up up up up up up!

The sound of gunfire  
off in the distance  
I’m getting used to it now

Things fall apart–it’s scientific

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.

You start a conversation you can’t even finish.  
You’re talking a lot but you’re not saying anything.  
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.

I don’t know what you people are talking about, I know the lyrics to “Same As It Ever Was”, but I don’t understand the madness.  
To contribute the only way I know how:

Same as it ever was,  
Look where my hand was.

Think of London, a small city  
It’s dark – dark in the daytime  
The people sleep, sleep in the daytime  
If they want to, if they want to  
…  
Did I forget to mention, forget to mention Memphis?  
Home of Elvis and the ancient Greeks.

Sing into my mouth.  
Out of all those kinds of people,  
You got a face with a view.

Make it up as we go along.

Well, we know where we’re goin’  
But we don’t know where we’ve been  
And we know what we’re knowin’  
But we can’t say what we’ve seen

And we’re not little children  
And we know what we want  
And the future is certain  
Give us time to work it out.

How many people do you think I am  
Pretend I am somebody else  
You can pretend I’m an old millionaire  
A millionaire washing his hands

AND

You start a conversation you can’t even finish it.  
You’re talkin’ a lot, but you’re not sayin’ anything.  
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.  
Say something once, why say it again?

AND

I’m tired of looking out the windows of the airplane  
I’m tired of travelling, I want to be somewhere.  
It’s not even worth talking  
About those people down there.
