There are people stepping on my toes People on my mind Some of them you have to leave behind People of my kind How can I be lonely With you people all around Play the wheel of fortune Playin' in a band Lady luck will roll the dice Future's looking grand now If you need a good advice Every option has a price Common people, everyday people The kind you like to meet It makes the world go round Common people, everyday people The bold an beautiful all on common ground Every morning like a clockwork My time is set Every evening I come home All in a sweat You can always count on common people Like you and me Oh, common people There will always be, oh, common people Oh, common people
