Common People

Whoa
Whoa
Whoa-oh-oh

The morning rain don't wash away
I'll dry your bloodshot eyes
As we make our way to part of life that we despise
Have you ever seen the sign
Of bedtime faces that don't say goodnight

Whoa
Whoa
Whoa-oh-oh

Here's to the people of common civilization
Our time has come to have our day
We tried so hard to achieve emancipation
Say we were born to be this way
So mister man don't tell me that my work is overdue
I thought of far away, it seemed by everyone but you

We're taking the 5:30 train
To the middle of this town
We're common people
We're insane
And you can't bring us down today

Whoa
Whoa
Whoa-oh-oh

So officer is it your arse that I'm supposed to kiss
I'm sorry, lad, today I think I'll give that one a miss
Sometimes we cause a fuss, I'll tell you this
But you don't know dear boy, they say that ignorance is bliss

Whoa
Whoa-oa

Heres to the people of common civilization
Our time has come to have our day
We tried so hard to achieve emancipation
Say we were born to be this way
So mister man don't tell me that my work is overdue
I thought of far away, it seemed by everyone but you

We're taking the 5:30 train
To the middle of this town
We're common people
We're insane
You can't bring us down today

Whoa
Whoa-oh-oh
We're common people
We're insane
And you can't bring us down today
