Leonard Nimoy - Love Of The Common People lyrics

Living on free food tickets Water in the milk from the hole in the roof where the rain came through. What can you do? ohh hoo hoo Tears for the little sister, crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch for the party to go. Oh but she'll know she'll get by, because she's living in the love of the common people, smiles in the heart of the family man. Her Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to, and her Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can. She can. It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare, it'd fall thru' the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it in the snow on the ground, walking to town, honey child. You try to keep your hands warm, but the hole in your shoe lets the snow come thru' and it chills you to the bone. Oh you'd better go home, where it's warm. And you will live in the love of the common people, smiles in the heart of a family man. Your Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to, and your Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can. She can. Y'know that livin' on dreams ain't easy, but the closer the knit the tighter the fit, and the chills stay away. Oh you take 'em in stride, the family pride. You know that faith is your foundation. With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation. And of course there's prayer. Making you strong, where you belong. And you will live in the love of the common people, smiles in the heart of the family man. Your Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to, and your Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can. She can. Oh, yeah, you're living in the love of the common people, smiles in the heart of a family man. Your Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to, and your Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can. (fades out on last line)
