TAB Giessen, Germany "Common People" is one of the most loved songs among students here, because it perfectly expresses every student´s sentiments, who´s working hard in a half-time job to make ends meet, sharing a flat with two or three others in order to get a better paid job later on (which turned out to be wrong), wheras other students turn up in their BMWs, laughing at you and showing you what a little loser you are.
