Some children playing games in a public elevator
Until a uniform arrives and tells them of
This woman always says the railway station's not a playground
And that the kids disturbing her way down
Some ice cream is sold in a wagon round the corner
It's always empty people usually don't go
They got one sort in white but modern ice is usually colored
That's why people think the ice cream is not good
Common rules and common walls
Is never ever lasting and is once upon a time
Already gone?
Continuously creeping on the streets we've been given
With this tragic rule that people just can't get along
Some whiskey is sold in a shop with broken windows
Always crowded though they don't enjoy to go
The keeper keeps on saying clients lives have all been failing
And clients after a while do think so too
Common rules and common walls
Is never everlasting and is once upon a time already gone?
Continuously creeping on the streets we've been given
With this tragic rule that people just can't get along
Some headlines been printed black and white and rarely colored
They say people die by accident and people die by war
It got one line in green says human rights cannot be stolen
But nobody really knows what these human rights are for
Common rules and common walls
Is never everlasting and is once upon a time already gone?
Continuously creeping on the streets we've been given
With this tragic rule that people just can't get along
