Bruce Springsteen - Love Of The Common People lyrics

One! Two! Livin' on free food, tickets Water in the milk from the hole in the roof Where the rain came through What can you do? hmm hmm Tears from your little sister Cryin' 'cause she don't have a dress without a patch For the party to go But she'll know she'll get by, 'cause she's Livin' in the love of the common people Smiles from the heart of the family man Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, as she can It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare It would fall through the hole in your pocket And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground Gonna be walking to town to find a job Trying to keep your hands warm When the hole in your shoe let the snow come through And chills you to the bone And you better go home where it's warm Livin' in the love of the common people Smiles from the heart of the family man Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, as she can Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo [Horn section solos] Livin' in the love of the common people Smiles from the heart of the family man Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, as she can Livin' on a dream ain't easy The closer the knit the tighter the fit The chills stay away You take 'em in stride the family pride You know that faith is your foundation With a whole lotta love and a warm conversation But don't forget to pray Making you strong where you belong Livin' in the love of the common people Smiles from the heart of the family man Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can Livin' in the love of the common people Smiles from the heart of the family man Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can Livin' in the love of the common people Smiles from the heart of the family man Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, as she can Yeah-yeah yeah-yeah yeah-yeah Woah-woah woah-woah woah-woah Yeah-yeah-hey, yeah-yeah-hey! Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo
