[Intro]
G G
[Verse 1]
G D Am
Seems the folks up at the top that they know better than
Em D C
Folks like you and me but they don't understand
G D Am
What it's like to bust their ass off for a piece of land
Em D C
But they'll blindly send our kids into the desert sand
[Chorus]
G D C
Common sense is only common for the common man
G D C
It's time for folks like you and me to take a stand
Em D C Am
Looks like the old red, white, and blue is up a creek with no canoe
Em D C
Common sense is only common for the common man
[Verse 2]
G D Am
All the money in the world just ain't worth it
Em D C
If you step on the little man that earned it
G D Am
They're instigatin brother versus brother
Em D C
Nobody wins when we all fight each other
[Chorus]
G D C
Common sense is only common for the common man
G D C
It's time for folks like you and me to take a stand
Em D C Am
Looks like the old red, white, and blue is up a creek with no canoe
Em D C
Common sense is only common for the common man
[Instrumental]
G D Am
Em D C
G D Am
Em D C C
[Bridge]
G D Am
Sacrifice the many for the few
Em D C
Just so they can make a buck or two
G D Am
All designed to insure a great divide
Em D C
So we choose a side instead of choosing truth
[Outro]
G D C
Common sense is only common for the common man
G D C
It's time for folks like you and me to take a stand
Em D C Am
Looks like the old red, white, and blue is up a creek with no canoe
Em D C G
Common sense is only common for the common man
