Like Everyone Else

[Verse 1]
When I was younger, I would need 10 sugars trying to keep my coffee down
Go to sleep at half past 3 when I could pass out
10 years of workin' at that dream
Stop wanting as much of the sugar and cream
The bitterness dulls the edge and you can get to sleep by 10

[Chorus]
We all keep sayin' that we won't get caught like everyone else
We all keep sayin' that we won't get old like everyone else
Snowflakes tend to melt
Your cracks, they tend to swell
Before too long, in a mirror you see everyone else

[Verse 2]
I used to laugh when my old man couldn't race me up a hill
When my mother would tell me to take it slow
Now I'm dreamin' of a made up past
Wishin that time didn't kill so fast
Sarcastically asking, where have all the soldiers gone?

[Chorus: Pepper Coyote, Fox Amoore]
They all keep sayin' that we won't get caught like everyone else
(Like everyone else)
They all keep sayin' that we won't get old like everyone else
(Like everyone else)
Make them "great" again
And we'll forget it's all pretend
And before too long we believe that it’s everyone else

[Bridge]
I was made to believe we're all uniquely human
I'm finding out exactly what that means
There is no other being with such capacity for compassion
Or such capacity for doing harm

[Verse 3]
When I was younger I believed that we were all of equal worth
And in the end we'd all be fine, if we did what's right
That the deck's not stacked, and we could be
Whatever we want in the land of the free, but I
See things every day that I just can't accept

[Chorus]
And I'll keep sayin' that I'll never end up like everyone else
And I'll keep sayin' that I'll never give up like everyone else
Fear won't ever go
So let everybody know...

[Pepper Coyote, Fox Amoore]
That you won't keep quiet and you won't sit down
That we're all from somewhere but we're from here now
That you don't need to step on me to feel great
That you got enough love to take on the hate
That you'll be the change that you want to see
That I'll look out for you and you'll look out for me
That we won’t give up and will not be moved
We've taken on worse and we don't plan to lose

[Outro]
Oh, how great the sorrow
Oh, how great the pain
When I wake up tomorrow
I will go to work again
I will go to work again
I will go to work again
