[C]
She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge.
She studied sculpture at St.
Martin's College, that's where [G] I
[C] She told me that her debt was loaded.
I said, in that case, what about Coca-Cola?
She said, [G] fine.
And then in 30 seconds time, she [F] said,
I wanna live like common people.
I wanna do whatever common [C] people do.
I wanna sleep with common people.
I wanna sleep with common people [G] like you.
What else could I do?
I said, oh, I'll see what I can [C] do.
I took her to a supermarket.
I don't know why, but I had to start it [G] somewhere.
So it started there.
[C] I said, pretend you've got no money.
And she just laughed and said, you're so funny.
[G] I said, yeah, but I can't see anyone else smiling.
Are you sure?
[F] You wanna live like common people.
You wanna see whatever common [C] people see.
Wanna sleep with common people.
You wanna sleep with common people [G] like me.
And she didn't understand.
And she just smiled and [C] held my hand.
I went to flatter for the star.
I cut your hair and get it done.
I slept [G] some nights and played some pool.
Pretend you never went to school.
Still [C] you'll never get it right.
It's when you're late and let out.
[G] Watching roaches climb the wall.
If you told your dad he could stop it.
Oh [F] yeah.
You'll never live like common people.
You'll never do whatever common [C] people do.
Never play like common people.
You'll never watch your lives [G] right out of view.
And the dance, they drink, they screw.
Because there's nothing else to [C] do.
Wow.
[G]
[C]
[G]
[F] Sing along with the common people.
Sing along and it might just [C] get you through.
Rock along with the common people.
Don't belong here, you're gonna [G] flop in a tube.
And the stupid things that you do.
Because you think it's [C] all as good.
Corona, why'd you hang out with all your [G] guys?
The tail ends up out.
[C] If everybody hates a tourist.
Especially one who thinks it's all [G] such a lie.
Yeah.
And the chips fits in grief.
You'll come out in the back.
[F] You will never understand.
How it feels to live your life.
With no [C] meaning or control.
And with nowhere left to go.
You are [G] amazed that they exist.
And they burn so bright whilst you can't [C] understand.
Parents have flats above their job.
Cut your hair and get a job.
[G] Smoke some fashion, play some pool.
Pretend you never went to school.
[C] Still you never get it right.
Just when you're all laid in bed at night.
Watch [G] it.
Rotis, climb the wall.
If you told your daddy you could stop it all.
[F] Never live like colored people.
Never do what colored people [C] do.
Never play like colored people.
You never watch your life.
Despite how [G] you do.
And the dance that they do.
Because it's up in their nails.
[C]
