If Sense Were Really Common

I can't believe it's come to this
Say it isn't so
You're telling me I shouldn't have to think
I'm just supposed to know
Tell me that it's obvious
Try to sell me that it's common sense

If sense were really common
Everyone would have some
Safety lies in numbers
Nonsense is the norm
So unsympathetic to anyone who gets it
I probably seem pathetic
I go so overboard

So it seems like I missed the boat
You're telling me that I should care
But I don't
Direct me to the salty sea
Divining rod won't point for me

If sense were really common
Everyone would have some
All this bottom-feeding
Is way out of my league
Stick to whisper nothing
No one will call your bluffing
Your heart's so full of stuffing
You can't even bleed

When it's time to make your speech
Watch them fight for front-row seats
Tell the truth you'll never be believed
