This song is a tribute to the men and woman, the independent thinkers and the true rebels who helped build this country... the people the politicians and the big corporations want to sell their products to, but usually forget who they are selling to... we are The Common Man.

Lyrics to Common Man:

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.
