The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day

William Shatner featuring Joe Jackson, "Common People" from Has Been (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary:
"You'll never live like common people,
You'll never do whatever common people do,
You'll never fail like common people,
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
And dance and drink and screw,
'Cause there's nothing else to do…

"Sing along with common people,
Sing along and it might just get you through,
Laugh along with common people,
Laugh along, even though they're all laughing at you,
And the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor is cool.

"They'll tear your insides out,
'Cause everybody hates a tourist…

"You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go.
You're amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright
While you can only wonder why…"
