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
