Love of the Common People Lyrics by Leonard Nimoy

Highly Illogical

0

Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do?
Oh hoo hoo
Tears for the little sister
Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch
For the party to go
Oh but she'll know she'll get by
Because she's living in the love of the common people
Smiles in the heart of the family man
Her Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
And her Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can
She can
It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare
It'd fall through the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it
In the snow on the ground
Walking to town, honey child
You try to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
And it chills you to the bone
Oh you'd better go home, where it's warm
And you will live in the love of the common people
Smiles in the heart of a family man
Your Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
And your Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
She can
You know that living on dreams ain't easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
Oh you take 'em in stride, the family pride
You know that faith is your foundation
With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
And of course there's prayer
Making you strong, where you belong
And you will live in the love of the common people
Smiles in the heart of the family man
Your Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
And your Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
She can
Oh, yeah you're living in the love of the common people
Smiles in the heart of a family man
Your Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
And your Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
