Common Sense Ain't Common Anymore

from Old Fenders by Murray Larsen

/

lyrics

Many years ago when I was just a lad
I went out to the field to spend time with my dad
He warned me of the danger and how to keep from harm
He said that common sense is what you need here on the farm

He showed me how to operate machines and drive the truck
When it comes to moving parts, son, you can’t depend on luck
We discussed the subject as we fixed the fence
There is no substitution for good ole common sense

CHORUS:
Where did it go, just take a look around
It seems as though it’s nowhere to be found
It makes me stop and wonder what the future has in store
Cause common sense ain’t common anymore

Take a look at how the traffic struggles to compete
Courtesy yields right of way to arrogance and conceit
We let our anger simmer until it turns to rage
Indifferent to the consequences of the war we wage

Re CHORUS

People build relationships on soft and shaky ground
So when the romance starts to slip they don’t stick around
They forget about the children so often caught between
Who shouldn’t have to deal with all the things they’ve seen

Re CHORUS
