Love of the Common Man Bossa Nova Version by Todd Rundgren Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And I've been burned in my prime
The simple things in life seem so hard to learn sometime
And it takes so long
Catch it while you can
Too late tomorrow
Everyone
Said we all know what comes of that, we know what comes of that
Living in your pockets and talking through your hat
But it don't take long
To turn your head around
Too late tomorrow
Everyone needs the love of the common man
As they turn the world around
Too late tomorrow
Everyone
[Bridge]
Everyone is waiting, just anticipating on you
Won't you make a showing everybody knows what to do
Take a dive from your ivory tower
And fall on everyone will catch you, everyone
[Piano solo]
[Bridge]
Everyone is waiting, just anticipating on you
Won't you make a showing everybody knows what to do
Take a dive from your ivory tower
And fall on everyone will catch you, everyone
[Verse 2 - Outro]
I would be so pleased to spend some time, have to spend a little time
To hear a little talk about what's been on your mind
'Cause it don't take long
To turn my head around
If it comes easy
And everyone needs the love of the common man
'Cause they turn the world around
Too late tomorrow
Everyone needs the love of the common man
Turn the world, have to turn the world around
Too late tomorrow
Everyone
And I've been burned in my prime
The simple things in life seem so hard to learn sometime
And it takes so long
Catch it while you can
Too late tomorrow
Everyone
Said we all know what comes of that, we know what comes of that
Living in your pockets and talking through your hat
But it don't take long
To turn your head around
Too late tomorrow
Everyone needs the love of the common man
As they turn the world around
Too late tomorrow
Everyone
[Bridge]
Everyone is waiting, just anticipating on you
Won't you make a showing everybody knows what to do
Take a dive from your ivory tower
And fall on everyone will catch you, everyone
[Piano solo]
[Bridge]
Everyone is waiting, just anticipating on you
Won't you make a showing everybody knows what to do
Take a dive from your ivory tower
And fall on everyone will catch you, everyone
[Verse 2 - Outro]
I would be so pleased to spend some time, have to spend a little time
To hear a little talk about what's been on your mind
'Cause it don't take long
To turn my head around
If it comes easy
And everyone needs the love of the common man
'Cause they turn the world around
Too late tomorrow
Everyone needs the love of the common man
Turn the world, have to turn the world around
Too late tomorrow
Everyone
