- William Shatner Common People 歌詞
- William Shatner
- She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martins College
Thats where I caught her eye
She told me that her dad was loaded
I said, in that case Ill have a rum and Coca Cola
She said fine and in thirty seconds time she said
I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do
I wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people like you
Well, what else could I do? I said, Ill see what I can do
I took her to a supermarket
I dont know why, but I had to start it somewhere
So it started there
I said, pretend youve got no money
She just laughed and said, oh, youre so funny
I said, yeah? Well I cant see anyone else smiling in here
Are you sure you want to live like common people?
You want to see whatever common people see?
You want to sleep with common people?
You want to sleep with common people like me?
But she didnt understand
She just smiled and held my hands
Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still youll never get it right
When youre lyin in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you call your dad he could stop it all
Youll never live like common people
Youll never do whatever common people do
Youll never fail like common people
Youll never watch your life slide out of view
And dance, and drink, and screw
Because theres nothing else to do
Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along, even though theyre laughing at you
And the stupid things that you do
Cause you think 'poor' is cool
Like a dog lying in a corner
Itll bite you and never warn you
Look out, theyll tear your insides out
Because everyone hates a tourist
Specially one who thinks its all such a laugh
Yeah and the chip stains grease will come out in the bath
You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go
Youre amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright, why?
You can only wonder why
Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still youll never get it right
When youve laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you call your dad he could stop it all
Youll never live like common people
Youll never do what common people do
Youll never fail like common people
Youll never watch your life slide out of view
And dance and drink and screw
Because theres nothing else to do
You wanna sleep with the common people
You wanna sleep with the common people
You wanna sleep with the common people
