Hotel Lux - Common Sense lyrics

When they speak of the enemy within
They seek nothing but division
Some bloke gone bald talks of
Stories old on the television
He reads about some red wall up
North that doesn’t really exist
And how that wall came tumbling down

Common Sense common Sense
Maybe they just lack the common sense

Everybody seems to have their
Twist and their agenda
We’re all fuelled apathy and
It’s hard to care
It makes it really hard to face the
Facts when the facts aren’t facts
Why can’t they tell us the truth?

Common Sense common Sense
Maybe they just lack the common sense

Is it the enemy within or
Is it the feeble sin?
The White Man’s Burden or is it Gunga Din?
A tender breeze from the Yorkshire Dales
They raise the flag as thee ships sails
From Portsmouth to Liverpool
Humberside to Whit'stable

Common Sense common Sense
Maybe they just lack the common sense
