Love of the Common People
Living on free food tickets
The water in the milk
From a hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do?
Tears from your little sister
Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch
For the party to go
Oh, but you know
She'll get by
Because she's living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can
And she can
It's a good thing you don't have bus fare
It would fall through the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it
In the snow on the ground
Oh, walk into town
To find a job
Trying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
And it chills you to the bone
So you better go home
Where it's warm
Where you can live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can
And she can
Living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can
Living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can
