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....
