Lyrics to We The Common (For Valerie Bolden) by Thao & The Get Down Stay Down

If it been my youth would have come to me
Oh love won’t you bite my eye
I miss the sweet, godden mound
Bare foot a skeleton dry
All they wanted was a villain, a villain
And all they have was me
All they wanted was a villain, a villain
So then they just took me

Hold my county line, get down on my city floor
I will suffer no humans, that been my habit before
Oh, and have the earth just shake
And tumble and tremble, for what the people do take
And I want in, all over your mind
Cause oh, how we, the common do cry

Oh, oho, oho, oh, oho, oho, oh, oho, oho, oh, ohooo

Oh aha, aha, oh aha, aha
Where do you go from me?
Oh aha, aha, oh aha, aha
When I wait for you faithfully
Oh aha, aha, oh aha, aha
And will they take my life in time?
Oh aha, aha, oh aha, aha
I love my girl, will you remind her?
Oh aha, aha, oh aha, aha
Oh how we, the common do cry

Oh, oho, oho, oh, oho, oho, oh, oho, oho, oh, ohooo

With that we die, we die, we die until we try
We die, we die, we die until we try
Well I could be your saint, you could be mine
Well I could be your saint, you would be mine

If it been my youth would have come to me
Oh love won’t you bite my eye
I miss the sweet, godden mound
Bare foot a skeleton dry
All they wanted was a villain, a villain
And all they have was me
All they wanted was a villain, a villain
So then they just took me

Hold my county line, get down on my city floor
I will suffer no humans, that been my habit before
Oh, how we, the common must cry!

Oh, oho, oho, oh, oho, oho, oh, oho, oho, oh, ohooo

And oh, how we, the common must cry!

Oh, oho, oho, oh, oho, oho, oh, oho, oho, oh, ohooo
