 [Verse 1]
They say there's a rule for every move
A book for every fight
But I’ve got a map that’s written in dirt
Not in black and white
A road that bends
A wind that howls
And common sense
My guiding light

[Chorus]
Oh
The law of bloody common sense
The one they always seem to miss
It don’t take robes
It don’t take books
Just a heart
A gut
And this
Oh
The law of bloody common sense

[Verse 2]
I’ve seen men argue the sun won’t rise
While standing in its glow
They’d fight a tree for casting shade
And swear it doesn’t grow
But the earth keeps spinning
Quiet and slow
Doesn’t need to tell them so

[Chorus]
Oh
The law of bloody common sense
The one they always seem to miss
It don’t take robes
It don’t take books
Just a heart
A gut
And this
Oh
The law of bloody common sense

[Bridge]
You can quote your rules
Your codes
Your verse
Turn a good thing bad
A blessing to curse
But when it’s all gone
And the dust has fled
What’s right will whisper
Not shout in your head

[Chorus]
Oh
The law of bloody common sense
The one they always seem to miss
It don’t take robes
It don’t take books
Just a heart
A gut
And this
Oh
The law of bloody common sense
