Common Man by THE BLASTERS He wasn't born in a cabin He never fought in a war But he learned to smile and quote Abe Lincoln and get his foot in the door He knows all your problems He shares all your dreams When he laughs, his wife laughs too as they ride in their limousine So wave the flag and take a stand Stand in line and shake his hand He says he's your friend A friend of the common man He's got all the answers The good days will be back soon There's one more strike in a copper mine and a hungry child in each black room So wave the flag and take a stand Stand in line and shake his hand He says he's your friend A friend of the common man Everybody works day to day to get by Every morning searching for a reason to try Ain't he the friend of the common man? He wasn't born in a cabin He never fought in a war But he learned to smile and quote Abe Lincoln and get his foot in the door With one hand on the bible He swears he's only here to serve While everyone says "For better or worse, we get what we deserve." So wave the flag and take a stand Stand in line and shake his hand He says he's your friend A friend of the common man So wave the flag and take a stand Stand in line and shake his hand He says he's your friend A friend of the common man
