Heaven, is there a chance that you could come down    and open doors to hurting people like me   People like me   People like me   People like me   Yeah, people like me      Is it fair to say that I am stressing out   I'm stationed in Iraq and they won't let me out    My homies said I was stupid for even joining   My consulate said my decision was disappointing   How she had good ?? for good state colleges   and with my good grades it wouldn't've been a problem   But they don't understand just the power of significance   More than brilliance and certainly more than dividends   And if you ask me now   Would I repeat it   Would I fight in a war I don't believe in?   Well the answer is its not me here the cancer is   They've been doing this before Jesus of Nazareth   And after all this time its still deadly hazardous   And Bush isn't really being all that inaccurate   When he says we winning the war cus its staggering   But thats cus we killin' everybody that we see   And most of us soldiers we can barely fall asleep   And time and time again I'm feeling incompetent   Cus my woman back home we constantly arguin'   And I must be crazy cus all I'm obsessin' with    Is her myspace and facebook and who's commentin'   I swear to God if she's cheating I'm doing her ass in   I can tell with one look   And it came to be something like a song hook   Saying      Heaven, is there a chance that you can come down   And open doors to hurting people like me   People like me   People like me   People like me   Yeah, people like me      Meet Sarah, the proud mother of young Sebastian   Suburban professional, went to college in Ashland   In self pity, she suddenly cried   Would my life be important if I suddenly died?   Neighbours sayin' what a nice woman she was   Keepin' mostly to herself ever since the divorce   And with the company downsizing in the fall, and all   She really shouldn't take it that personal at all   It wasn't her boss who had his eyes on his thighs   And got a rise from her risin' off the desk though   And despite remembering sayin' no plenty of times   It was still a damn surprise being let go   And now stuck with a mortgage she can't afford   And too educated to blame the corporate world   She got on welfare, then hated it   Case worker powertrippin' and generally being degrading    if nothing else she was treated sick, and ineffective   Which is the worse thing, that she'd been left with   Damn   No magic from David Blaine    No pain and her pain was plain   No Morgan Freeman to narrate the shame   So she took refuge in prayer   Kind of like finding God in the phonebook   and it came to her sounding something like a song hook.      Heaven, is there a chance that you could come down    and open doors to hurting people like me   People like me   People like me   People like me   Yeah, people like me      I guess I told you about myself to a degree   Just by telling you about people like me   But people like me, they speak politely   They don't start no beef for a piece of white meat   Everybody gotta eat, but everybody doesn't   Which is why I wanna tell you about my favourite cousin   He and I grew up where the sun shines   And we both partook in the gun crimes   And we both liked American rap rhymes   Even though we didn't understand one line   If you remember my liner notes in my last album   I talked about a close call with a grenade   I think we both must've been seventh grade   But don't panic, we both survived without damage   But we developed a bond like we survived the Titanic   So when the country became frantic   My mother tried to get us out, planned it   to the last detail, except the plan got derailed   cus there wasn't enough money for the plane tickets   How bitter when my mother had to chose who to take with her   So my cousin got left in the war   And that's just hard to record   But now I take refuge in prayer   Kind of like finding God in the phonebook   It came to me sounding something like a song hook      Heaven, is there a chance that you could come down    and open doors to hurting people like me   People like me   People like me   People like me   Yeah, people like me      Heaven, is there a chance that you could come down    and open doors to hurting people like me   People like me   People like me   People like me   Yeah, people like me
