Common Sense

When they speak of the enemy within, they seek nothing but division
Some bloke gone bald talks of stories old on the television
He reads about some wall up North that doesn't really exist
How that wall came tumbling down

Common Sense
Common Sense
Maybe they just lack that

Everybody seems to have their twist and their agenda
We're so fuelled on apathy it's hard to care
It makes it really hard to face the facts when the facts aren't facts
Why can't they just tell the truth?

Common Sense
Common Sense
Maybe they just lack that

Is it the enemy within or is it the feeble sin?
The White Man's Burden or is it Gunga Din?
A tender breeze from the Yorkshire Dales
They raise the flag as thee ships sails
From Portsmouth to Liverpool
Humberside to Whitstable
