The Blasters - Common Man by The Blasters lyrics

Ah, 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 Ah, he knows all your problems Ah, he shares all your dreams Ah, when he laughs his wife laughs 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 Ah, he's got all the answers The good days will be back soon Just one more strike and a compromise And a hungry child in each cla**room 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 Everybody works day to day to get by Ah, every mornin' searchin' for a reason to try Ain't he the friend? The friend of the common man? Ah, 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 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 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 --- .
