Love Of A Common People lyrics

(Ow, ah ah ya)

Living on free-food tickets.
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof where the rain came through.
What can you do, mmm?
Tears from your little sister,
Crying because she doesn`t have a dress without a patch
For the party to go.
But you know
She`ll get by.

`Cause she`s living in the love of the common people,
Smile`s from the heart of a family man (ah ah ya).
Daddy`s gonna buy you a dream to cling to;
Mama`s gonna love you just as much as she can (you`re so cold)
And she can.

In the snow on the ground (ow, ah ah ya).
You gotta walk into town
To find a job (what`s it now).
Tryin` to keep your hands warm (it`s so cold)
When the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And chill you to the bone (brrr cha).
Somehow you`d better go home, where it`s warm,

Where you can live in a love of the common people,
Smile`s from the heart of a family man (ah ah ya).
Daddy`s gonna buy you a dream to cling to;
Mama`s gonna love you just as much as she can (you`re so cold)
And she can.

Living on a dream ain`t easy,
But the closer the knit,
The tighter the fit (the closer the knit),
And the chills stay away (ow, ah ah ya) --
Just take `em in stride for family pride.
You know that faith is your foundation (ooh now, ooh now, ooh now),
With a whole lotta love and a warm conversation,
But don`t forget to pray (forget to pray).
Just making it strong where you belong.

And we`re living in the love of the common people,
Smile`s from the hea
