From Christina Aguilera’s
"Beautiful" to "Brave" by Sara Bareilles, we love when a
female pop star's mainstream single can be claimed as a gay anthem.
Be yourself! It’s OK to be different!
You’re not alone! It gets better! It's all there in "People Like
Us," Kelly Clarkson's inspirational new single.
Just in time for Pride, Kelly hammers
her positive message home with the song's new video, in which doctor-scientists
in a black and white world examine a sad misfit girl in vibrant color. Kelly
quickly takes pity on the girl and reveals that — gasp! — she’s in color
too beneath her Detox-y black and white makeup. Pleasantville,
anyone?
"People like us we've gotta
stick together," she sings. "We are all misfits living in a world on
fire." Burn, baby, burn.
We come into this world unknown
But know that we are not alone
They try and knock us down
But change is coming, it's our time
now
Hey... everybody loses it,
Everybody wants to throw it all away
sometimes
And hey... yeah I know what you're
going through
Don't let it get the best of you,
you'll make it out alive
Ohh
People like us we've gotta stick
together
Keep your head up, nothing lasts
forever
Here's to the damned, to the lost and
forgotten
It's hard to get high when you're
living on the bottom
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
We are all misfits living in a world
on fire
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
Sing it for the people like us, the
people like us
Hey, this is not a funeral
It's a revolution, after all your
tears have turned to rage
Just wait, everything will be okay
Even when you're feeling like it's
going down in flames
Ohh
People like us we've gotta stick
together
Keep your head up nothing lasts
forever
Here's to the damned, to the lost and
forgotten
It's hard to get high when you're
living on the bottom
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
We are all misfits living in a world
on fire
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
Sing it for the people like us, the
people like us
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
You've just gotta turn it up loud
when the flames get higher
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
Sing it for the people like us, the
people like us
They can't do nothing to you, they
can't do nothing to me
This is the life that we choose, this
is the life that we bleed
So throw your fists in the air, come
out, come out if you dare
Tonight we're gonna change forever
Everybody loses it, everybody wants
to throw it all away sometimes
Ohh
People like us we've gotta stick
together
Keep your head up nothing lasts
forever
Here's to the damned, to the lost and
forgotten
It's hard to get high when you're
living on the bottom
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
We are all misfits living in a world
on fire
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
Sing it for the people like us, the
people like us
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
You've just got to turn it up loud
when the flames get higher
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
Sing it for the people like us, the
people like us
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
We're all misfits living in a world
on fire
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
Sing it for the people like us, the
people like us
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
You've just got to turn it up loud
when the flames get higher
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
Sing it for the people like us, the
people like us
