I find myself concerned
 For the common man, these days
 Evil are the minds
 That push the divide
 Forced to live a life
 In fear that his future is on the wane
 Midnight regulations
 Midnight regulations
 Burns his candle down
 Working to make ends meet
 Old hearts, we need to mend
 It抯 time to start again
 Fingers to the bone
 Ready to admit defeat
 Midnight regulations
 Midnight
 
 Brother! There is no charity
 For the common man
 When he is in need of relief
 
 And now he hanging on
 To his final stitch of faith
 So, here to all the years
 Of deaf ear fallen prayers
 Rich men behind closed doors
 Try to keep him in his place
 Midnight regulations
 Midnight regulations
 Oh, all you common men
 You need to fight for a new way
 But what can be done
 About the way things have become?
 Palace walls dismantled
 Brick by brick, you will have your day
 Midnight regulations
 Midnight
 
 Brother! There is no charity
 For the common man
 When he is in need of relief
 
 They say just hold onto your hope
 But you know if you swallow your pride
 You will choke
 
 Brother! There is no charity
 For the common man
 When he is in need of relief
