God Save The Common Man

from Who Said It Had To Be Fun? (fdm141) by Chris Anderson

/

lyrics

All we see is anger
Frustration and pain
In this world that we live in
We never seem to win
This passion play game
But we’re all in

It’s common cause
Common problem
Common lies
Common mercy
God save the common man

What was it that they said
When everybody fell
It was no joke any more
And if one man tried to stand up
He’d only come crashing down

It’s common rise
Common reign
Common fall
And common pain
God save the common man

Where was I when we came?
Ever further from the light
How did it all come into being?
In these forceful days and nights

It’s common rise
Common reign
Common fall
And common pain
God save the common man
It’s common cause
Common problem
Common lies
Common mercy
God save the common man
It's common sense.
