[Verse 1]
Let's play make-believe
Wanna make a mark on my history
Let's try and work it out
You can go to jail and I will pay the car
[Chorus]
No rest for the common man
No rest, you better get the kids
My best, best I can
Will be something to last
Places like the islands
They are what keeps me going on, on and on
(On and on)
[Verse 2]
Look out at the sea
Do you see the swirls are making up a pattern
I'm a strong wave
Catch me at the wrong tide, yes you will be sorry
[Chorus]
No rest for the common man
No rest, you better get the kids
My best, best I can
Will be something to last
Places like the islands
They are what keeps me going on, on and on
(On and on)
[Instrumental break]
No, no rest
No rest, no rest
No, no rest
No rest, no rest
Places like the islands
Places like the islands, oh
Common Man was written by Luke Steele.
Common Man was produced by Luke Steele.
Luke Steele released Common Man on Fri Feb 11 2022.
‘Common Man’ is about the underdog. The working class, forever hustling but sometimes it gets too much. Finding a place of rest is unpredictable, it comes in waves.
But the triumph is born from that struggle and you’ll see the glory within all the moments and tests.
