Love of the Common People

Livin' on free food tickets Water in your milk from a hole in the roof Where the rain come through What can you do, uh-huh Tears from your little sister Cryin' because she doesn't have a dress without a patch For the party tonight But she knows she'll get by 'cause she's Livin' with the love of the common people Smile from the heart of the family man Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, as she can It's a good thing you don't have bus fares It'll fall through the hole in your pocket And you'll lose it on the stone on the ground Gotta walk into town to find a job Tryin' to keep your hands warm When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through And it chills you to the bone So now you'd better go home, where it's warm, and you'll be Livin' with the love of the common people Smile from the heart of the family man Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to Mama's gonna love you as much as she can, as she can Livin' on a dream ain't easy but the closer the knit The tighter the fit and the chill stay away Keep the man's strive, the family pride You know that faith is your foundation With a whole lotta love and a warm conversation But don't forget to turn Makin' you strong where you belong and you're Livin' with the love of the common people Smile from the heart of the family man Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, as she can
