We the Common (For Valerie Bolden)

Lyrics

[Verse] If I burn my youth, would it come to me? Oh, love, won't you bite my eye? I miss the sweet garden, man Baffle a skeleton dry All they wanted was a villain, a villain And all they had was me All they wanted was a villain, a villain So then they just took me [Chorus] Hold my county line, get down on my city floor I will suffer no humans, that'd been my habit before Oh, and how the earth did shake And tumble and tremble, for what the people do take And I want in, all over your mind 'Cause oh, how we, the common, do cry [Verse] Glory do you go from me? When I wait for you faithfully And will they take my life entire? I love my girl, will you remind her? Oh how we, the common do cry [Bridge] We die, we die, we die until we try We die, we die, we die until we try Well, I could be yours and you could be mine Well, I could be yours and you would be mine [Verse] If I burn my youth, would it come to me? Oh, Love, won't you bite my eye? I miss the sweet garden, man Baffle a skeleton dry All they wanted was a villain, a villain And all they had was me All they wanted was a villain, a villain So then they just took me [Chorus] Hold my county line, get down on my city floor I will suffer no humans, that'd been my habit before Oh, how we, the common, must cry And oh, how we, the common must cry!
