Lyrics

[00:13.890] Living on free food tickets
[00:16.250] Water in the milk
[00:17.520] From a hole in the roof
[00:18.640] Where the rain came through
[00:20.810] What can you do, hmmm?
[00:23.720] Tears from your little sister
[00:26.140] Crying because she doesn't have
[00:28.120] A dress without a patch
[00:29.250] For the party to go
[00:31.380] But you know she'll get by
[00:33.890] 'Cause she's living in
[00:35.080] The love of the common people
[00:36.870] Smiles from the heart
[00:38.350] Of a family man
[00:39.950] Daddy's gonna buy you
[00:40.930] A dream to cling to
[00:42.200] Mama's gonna love you
[00:43.740] Just as much as she can
[00:47.340] And she can
[00:53.160] It's a good thing
[00:54.030] You don't have bus fare
[00:55.670] It would fall through the hole
[00:56.840] In your pocket and you'd lose it
[00:58.410] In the snow on the ground
[01:00.270] You got to walk into town
[01:01.880] To find a job
[01:03.300] Tryin' to keep your hands warm
[01:06.040] When the hole in your shoe
[01:07.610] Let the snow come through
[01:08.940] And chill you to the bone
[01:10.600] Somehow you'd better go home
[01:12.580] Where it's warm
[01:13.810] Where you can live in
[01:15.040] The love of the common people
[01:16.670] Smile from the heart
[01:18.160] Of a family man
[01:19.750] Daddy's gonna buy you
[01:20.700] A dream to cling to
[01:22.070] Mama's gonna love you
[01:23.520] And she can
[01:30.980]
[01:51.710] Living on a dream ain't easy
[01:53.770] But the closer the knit
[01:55.410] The tighter the fit
[01:56.900] And the chills stay away
[01:58.510] 'Cause we take 'em in stride
[02:00.150] For family pride
[02:01.360] You know that faith
[02:02.520] Is your foundation
[02:03.920] With a whole lot of love
[02:05.730] And a warm conversation
[02:07.210] But don't forget to pray
[02:09.270] It's makin' it strong
[02:10.810] Where you belong
[02:12.050] And we're living in
[02:13.330] The love of the common people
[02:14.770] Smiles from the heart
[02:16.440] Of a family man
[02:17.690] Daddy's gonna buy you
[02:18.920] A dream to cling to
[02:20.100] Mama's gonna love you
[02:21.560] Just as much as she can
[02:24.910] And she can
[02:27.950] Yes, we're living in
[02:28.940] The love of the common people
[02:30.760] Smile's from the heart
[02:31.960] Of a family man
[02:33.600] Daddy's gonna buy you
[02:34.970] A dream to cling to
[02:36.410] Mama's gonna love you
[02:37.610] Just as much as she can
[02:39.430] Living in the love of the common people
[02:41.350] Smiles from the heart
[02:42.960] Of a family man
[02:44.300] Daddy's gonna buy you
[02:45.670] A dream to cling to
[02:46.890] Mama's gonna love you
[02:48.100] Just as much as she can
[02:49.830] Living in the love of the common people
[02:51.960] Smile's really hard
[02:53.350] On a family man
[02:54.600] Daddy's gonna buy you
[02:56.200] A dream to cling to
[02:57.440] Mama's gonna love you
[02:58.750] Just as much as she can
[03:02.320] And she can
[03:06.420]
