Blues For The Common Man — текст песни (Billy Squier)

Five o`clock in the morning I`m standing out in the rain
They don`t give me no warning, police rouse me again
Now I`m a common man, makin` out the best I can
Well I feel shook down from my head to my toes
With a girl on my arm and a spoon in my nose
This time around tell ya anything goes, oh yeah

I got the blues for the common man
I`m just a common man, and I be singing the blues for the common man
Yeah I`m singing the blues for the common man

I got no reason to hurry, I take my time on the run
I can`t forget not to worry, can`t let you see me undone
I`m just a common man, looking at a one night stand
I don`t get down with your nine to five
Don`t tell me I ain`t takin no jive
Next time around gonna skin me alive, oh yeah

I`ll be searchin` for daylight, but there`s none to be found
I`m burning my night light when there`s noone around
I`d like to love you, but your game`s too rough
Can`t do without you, I just can`t get enough

I got my villa de capri, I got my minks and my cars
I`ve got you thinking about me, you`ve got your head in the stars
You love your common man
You`re the last one to know, I couldn`t make you understand
When you got everything that your money can buy
And there ain`t one thing you ain`t already tried
But you`re goin` `round again just to know you`re alive, oh yeah

The things that you want, the things that I got
The things that you want, they don`t mean a lot
I know what I want, I see what you got
I know what I want, and I like it a lot

I like it

I`m just a common man, just a common man
