If you go off to war <br />Common sense says you will bring back a scar <br />And there’s a chance that you will die <br />Make some loving mother cry <br />If you drive your car way too fast <br />Common sense tells you one day you’ll come in last <br />And with your petal to the metal <br />There‘s an argument we won’t have to settle <br />If you put down the liquor hard <br />Common sense is you are going to be caught off guard <br />Kill your liver and whose knows what <br />Probably spend time in recovery doing squat <br />If you do too much drugs <br />Common sense says you’ll probably need some hugs <br />While we try to change your sparkplugs <br />But we can’t help you with the invisible bugs <br />If you smoke cigarette after cigarette <br />Common sense says you’re a tobacco companies’ marionette <br />Who will pull your strings down a dark alley <br />They are but a few who send their clients to Death Valley <br />If you chase women after women <br />Common sense tells me that your head will be swimmin’ <br />You will drown in a whirlpool of confusion <br />Where happiness is but a dizzy illusion <br />Don’t know if you already heard <br />Women always get in the last word<br /><br />Alfred Ramos<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/common-sense-8/
