[Verse 1]
People like us wake up at 10
Open our eyes and close ‘em again
Some people say people like us
Are not doing enough
People like us don’t play pretend

I don’t care if people like us, 'cause I like us
Just, just, just the way we are (Yeah, oh yeah, people like us)
Just the way we are
People like us
