living on free food tickets
water in the milk
from a hole in the roof
where the rain came through
what can you do
mmm
tears from your little sister
crying because
she doesn’t have a dress
without a patch for the party to go
but you know she’ll get by
cause she’s living
in the love of the common people
smiles from the heart of a family man
ah ah yeah
daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
mama’s gonna love you
just as much as she can
so cold
and she can
it’s a good thing you don’t have bus fare
it’s a good thing ouch
it would fall through the hole in your pocket
and you’d lose it
in the snow on the ground
ow ah ah yeah
you gotta walk into town to find a job
what’s it now
trying to keep your hands warm
it’s so cold
when the hole in your shoe
let the snow come through
and chill you to the bone
brrr cha
somehow you’d better go home where it’s warm
where you can
live in a love of the common people
smile from the heart of a family man
ah ah yeah
daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
mama’s gonna love you
just as much as she can
so cold
and she can
living on a dream ain’t easy
but the closer the knit
the tighter the fit
the closer the knit
and the chills stay away
ow ah ah yeah
just to take ’em in stride for family pride
you know that faith is your foundation
ooh now ooh now ooh now
with a whole lotta love
and a warm conversation
but don’t forget to pray
forget to pray
just making it strong where you belong
and we’re living
in the love of the common people
smiles from the heart of a family man
what’s it now
daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
mama’s gonna love you just
as much as she can
you’re so cold
and she can
yes we’re living
in the love of the common people
smile’s from the heart of a family man
ah ah yeah
daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
mama’s gonna love you
just as much as she can
you’re so cold
living in the love of the common people
smile’s from the heart of a family man
what’s it now
daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
mama’s gonna love you
just as much as she can
you’re so cold
living in the love of the common people
smile’s really hard on a family man
ah ah yeah
daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
mama’s gonna love you
just as much as she can
and she can
