the blasters – common man [1985] lyrics
[verse 1]
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
[verse 2]
he knows all your problems
he shares all of your dreams
when he laughs, his wife last too
as they ride in their limousine
[chorus]
so wave the flag and take a stand
stand in line to shake his hand
he says he’s your friend, a friend of the common man
[verse 3]
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 classroom
[chorus]
so wave the flag and take a stand
stand in line to shake his hand
he says he’s your friend, a friend of the common man
[bridge]
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
[verse 4]
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
[verse 5]
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
[chorus]
so wave the flag and take a stand
stand in line to shake his hand
he says he’s your friend, a friend of the common man
