People Like Us Lyrics

Cover art for People Like Us lyrics by Talking Heads

It might have something to do with Maslow's hierarchy of needs. We don't want freedom We don't want justice We just want someone to love. Someone to love.

From bottom to top: self-actualization esteem social needs safety needs physiological needs

You don't worry about self actualization (freedom and justice) if you are currently working on your social needs (someone to love).
