Lyrics

What Happened To Common Sense?

[Verse]
I’ve watched the sun rise, and I’ve seen it set,
Heard wisdom whispered I’ll never forget.
But now the air hums with a curious tune,
Where did it go? Did we lose it too soon?

[Prechorus]
The world’s a riddle, and the answer’s dense,
What happened to Common Sense?

[Chorus]
Oh, where did it wander, where did it stray?
The voice of reason has faded away.
A treasure misplaced, no recompense,
Oh, how we miss Common Sense.

[Verse 2]
It used to speak softly, in practical tones,
A guide in the chaos, a builder of homes.
Now it’s a ghost, a faint silhouette,
A thing we once had, but now we forget.

[Prechorus]
The streets are louder, the words intense,
Still no sign of Common Sense.

[Chorus]
Oh, where did it wander, where did it stray?
The voice of reason has faded away.
A treasure misplaced, no recompense,
Oh, how we miss Common Sense.
