Common Sense

No one is asking questions afraid what some might say Everything's become taboo why you can't even pray Say anything, about someone in question form, I mean They'll try to have you chastised and make a great big scene Tolerance? There's no such thing you're either "left" or "nil" There is no room for common sense life's sliding down the hill My Mom? My Dad? They weren't the same different as can be That makes them bad? That would be sad cut down our Family Tree? How are you going to pass a law? that pleases all man kind Get the scalpel out at birth? or will they be assigned? I know some things don't sound real good in fact, not good at all If you can't sit, to hash them out you've run, into a wall A thousand questions to be asked and these are just a few It would be nice, to break the ice talk common sense with you Remember when you're talking though leave "Blindfold" in the car If we can't see it, eye to eye we won't, get very far....

My grandmother used to say, if we can't learn the easy way, then the hard way.
