The Love Of The Common People Lyrics

living on free food ticketswater in the milk from a hole in the roofwhere the rain came throughwhat can they do?tears from your baby sistercrying 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patchfor the party to gobut you know she'll get bybecause she is living in the love of the common peoplesmiles from the heart of a family mandaddy's buying you a dream to cling tomummy's gonna love you just as much as she canand she canit's a good thing you don't have bus fairit would fall through the hole in your pocketand you'd loose it on the snow on the groundwalking to town to find a jobtrying to keep your hands warmbut the hole in the shoe lets the snow come throughand it chills to the boneor you better go home where it's warmand you can live in the love of the common peoplesmiles from the heart of a family mandaddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling tomummy's gonna love you just as much as she canand she canliving on dreams ain't easybut the closer the net the tighter the fitand the chill stay awayyou take them in stripe, family prideyou know faith is your foundationwith a whole lot of love and a won conversationand many a prayermaking you strong where you belongliving in the love of the common peoplesmiles from the heart of a family mandaddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling tomummy's gonna love you just as much as she canliving in th elove of the common peoplesmiles from the heart of a family mandaddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling tomummy's gonna love you just as much as she can
