Common Sense

(Music)

When I woke up this morning, it was all over the news
It seems a friend of ours is gone with no one left to fill his shoes
Those that knew him loved him, but it's all about to change
It might sound strange to you, but Common Sense was his name

Now, there's no one else to do the job like my friend, Common could
Well, I guess you don't know what you got til it's left the world for good
It's getting pretty obvious we're all feeling the strain
Someone else has got the job, and Nonsense is his name

Common Sense, so sad to see you go
You'll be greatly missed by all the common folks you know
Oh, they say this new age thinking gotta be the way to go
But we're just common folks and Common Sense is all we know

(Music)

Now, there's people walking backwards up and down the avenue
They've forgot the ten commandments and they've broke the golden rule
I bet Common could of helped us straiten out some things somehow
Well, I wonder what he'd say if he could see the world right now

Common Sense, so sad to see you go
You'll be greatly missed by all the common folks you know
Oh, they say this new age thinking gotta be the way to go
But we're just common folks and Common Sense is all we know

(Music)

Now, Common Sense is gone for good, that's how he's gonna stay
But we've known him well enough to know exactly what he'd say
So we'll keep him in our hearts and minds just like he'd want us to
And every day we'll ask ourselves just what would Common do

Common Sense, so sad to see you go
You'll be greatly missed by all the common folks you know
Oh, they say this new age thinking gotta be the way to go
But we're just common folks and Common Sense is all we know

In a common town, where up is up and down is down
The world's still spinning round and round
Right is right and wrong is wrong
Oh, the list goes on and on, but I think it's time I end this song

Common Sense is all we know
