Blues For The Common Man |
| Five o’clock in the morning I’m standing out in the rain |
| They don’t give me no warning, police rouse me again |
| Now I’m a common man, makin' out the best I can |
| Well I feel shook down from my head to my toes |
| With a girl on my arm and a spoon in my nose |
| This time around tell ya anything goes, oh yeah |
| I got the blues for the common man |
| I’m just a common man, and I be singing the blues for the common man |
| Yeah I’m singing the blues for the common man |
| I got no reason to hurry, I take my time on the run |
| I can’t forget not to worry, can’t let you see me undone |
| I’m just a common man, looking at a one night stand |
| I don’t get down with your nine to five |
| Don’t tell me I ain’t takin no jive |
| Next time around gonna skin me alive, oh yeah |
| I’ll be searchin' for daylight, but there’s none to be found |
| I’m burning my night light when there’s noone around |
| I’d like to love you, but your game’s too rough |
| Can’t do without you, I just can’t get enough |
| I got my villa de capri, I got my minks and my cars |
| I’ve got you thinking about me, you’ve got your head in the stars |
| You love your common man |
| You’re the last one to know, I couldn’t make you understand |
| When you got everything that your money can buy |
| And there ain’t one thing you ain’t already tried |
| But you’re goin' 'round again just to know you’re alive, oh yeah |
| The things that you want, the things that I got |
| The things that you want, they don’t mean a lot |
| I know what I want, I see what you got |
| I know what I want, and I like it a lot |
| I like it |
| I’m just a common man, just a common man |
