Common Sense

 

Common Sense was common

once upon...

 

Now it worries us

Common Sense is gone

 

Nonsense replaced

it seems so wrong

 

Dumb is common since

Common Sense is gone.

Common sense is gone dk
Replaced by common dumb
Gullible and dumb-like
Ready to succumb

You gotta have a new one
To keep up with the Jones
Nah, you're old one's no good
I'm 'fraid it's not two-tone

No it isn't common sense
To keep what does still work
We have to buy from sellers
To satisfy their perks ?
