Injustice constantly thrive in our society
The common man left with fate to survive
Integrity substituted for disloyalty
His life is determined by unscropulous policies
The common man is left in the hand of the elites
Who dare to tarnish his will of expression
From criticizing a fellow elites
And suffer the cruelty of tyrants
Eachday the common man suffer in neglet and rejection
Eachday the common man suffer from conviction
From a leader, selfish enough to sell his birthright
The common man is regarded for an outcast
He is irrelevant if he cannot afford a car
He is irrelevant if he can not afford a roof over his head
He is irrelevant if he can not buy away his guilt and disloyalty
The common man is cheated upon and prejudice for lamenting
The life of the common man is like that of a sailor
With a life jacket shipwrecked, lost and floating on sea
Hoping for a rescue ship to sail by
As he hardly holds on to survive
Praying to be alive long enough to be revived
To overcome a sad and frustrating day
He has but one alibi in life to content with
That is to hope for a better tomorrow
