Common Man (I will repost this shortly)

Common Man

Lyrics:

Verse 1
We built your prisons and we
Built your factories too;
We’re the first to be forgotten when you’ve
Moved to something new.
You judge us in your courtrooms
Built to represent the land;
You spit on us from your towers
Casting shadows on a man.
Rachel’s crying for her children…
Sharon gave milk to a hungry man…
You wouldn’t give us a pot to piss in;
Or a leg to stand.
Tell me what you will have to offer
When we unite and make demands?
Cause we’re more than unions
And we’re more than plowshares;
You can’t stop us
We’re the common man.

Verse 2
We’re a voice the other side of Wall Street…
A third party rising to make demands;
Take back a government for the people and
Deliver it to the people’s hands.
We won’t be slaves in your sweatshops…
‘Cause we believe in a life that’s free;
But we’re the fabric that wove this country,
A snake that says “Don’t tread on me.”
And we aren’t buying what you’re selling…
You’ve sold us out to a foreign land;
We’ll take it back to the beginning,
A country shaped by American hands.
Cardboard signs by the freeway…
We’ll work for food or work to get things done;
Don’t be oppressed beat down the oppressor…
You can’t stop us
We’re the common man.

Outro
We built your prisons and we
Built your factories too;
We’re the first to be forgotten when you’ve
Moved to something new.
