POETRY

Common Man

VERSE I
Infrastructure builds itself before my eyes
while educated fools believe delicious lies
of wealth and economics, everyone gets a slice
but they wont let you read, the print in the fine
no its not what you need, boy!
its written and the bottom line
to build your towers high
you’ll see heaven soon,
but it wont be gods hand pushing the monsoon

CHORUS
but your afraid of common man,
a common man will bring you down
you’re afraid of common man
as though you stood on solid ground

VERSE II
Resurrecting all of your common lies
while bursting with tears your little eyes
are bagging sagging dripping
like a winter storm

CHORUS
you’re afraid of common man,
a common man will bring you down
you’re afraid of common man
as though you stood on solid ground

VERSE III
Build your towers high,
you’ll see heaven soon
but it won’t be your god
pushing the monsoon
no, its little people in countries
you can’t say
and they’re making the cracks
writing the facts
picking up slack
and breaking our backs

CHORUS II
you’re afraid of common man
the common man is you
you’re afraid of common man
what is it that you plan to do?
your afraid of common man,
a common man will bring you down
you’re afraid of common man
as though you stood on solid ground

BRIDGE
common c’mon, c’mon common
c’mon common, common c’monx2
Over indulgence is the wine and virtue of fool’s.
When you can get enough, it all tastes the same

CHORUS III
You’re afraid a common man
a common man is what you are
you want to be an evil man
well thats how you plan to get very far

but your afraid of common man,
a common man will bring you down
you’re afraid of common man
even though you don’t stand on solid ground
