John Prine - Common Sense lyrics

Your rating:


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
