Bradley Matthew - Common Man lyrics
rate me15 years I worked 9 to 5
For the wife 2 kids and a double Y
Now there’s a pink slip in my hand
While the banker gets a stimulus plan
All you fat cats in DC, riding around in your limousines
It’s hard time you lend a hand
To the hard working blue common man
I ain’t asking for executive perks
Just a job so I can work
Got my pride don’t nothing free
Just my share of the American dream
Wall street took my pension plank
Can’t even buy gas for the minivan
It’s hard time you lend a hand
To the hard working blue common man
I maxed up the Visa, Master card
Sold every … in my yard
Hey mister president
I’m down to my last cent
My wife and kids don’t understand
What happened to the promise land
It’s hard time you lend a hand
To the hard working blue common man
I ain’t asking for executive perks
Just a job so I can work
Got my pride don’t nothing free
Just my share of the American dream
Wall street took my pension plank
Can’t even buy gas for the minivan
It’s hard time you lend a hand
To the hard working blue common man
From California to Tennessee
There’s a lot of good folk just like me
We help make this nation great
And we’re trying to keep the faith
I ain’t asking for executive perks
Just a job so I can work
Got my pride don’t nothing free
Just my share of the American dream
Wall street took my pension plank
Can’t even buy gas for the minivan
It’s hard time you lend a hand
To the hard working blue common man
It’s hard time you lend a hand
To the hard working blue common man, yeah.<br />
