Song Lyrics - Common Sense
 Send John Prine "Common Sense" Ringtones to your Cell  You can't live together You can't live alone Considering the weather Oh my, how you've grown From the men in the factories To the wild kangaroo Like those birds of a feather They're gathering together And feeling Exactly like you They got mesmerized By lullabies And limbo danced In pairs Please lock that door It don't make much sense That common sense Don't make no sense No more Just between you and me It's like pulling When you ought to be shovin, Like a nun With her head in the oven Please don't tell me That this really wasn't nothing One of these days One of these nights You'll take off your hat And they'll read you Your rights You'll wanna get high Every time you feel low Hey, Queen Isabella Stay away from that fella He'll just get you Into trouble, you know? But they came here by boat And they came here by plane They blistered their hands And they burned out their brain All dreaming a dream That'll never come true Hey, don't give me no trouble Or I'll call up my double We'll play piggy-in-the-middle With you You'll get mesmerized By alibis And limbo dance in pairs Please lock that door It don't make much sense That common sense Don't make no sense No more |
