Man without a rudder is ruled by the sea
Lost all anchors somewhere in the deep
Lover of machines-adrift in schemes
Cast his lot among rootless thieves
Nightlife swings in the gateway towns
But out here in the inches there's a ship going down
The sailor keeps swallowing siren smoke
Dreaming of a kiss, just beyond the choke.
These strange nights and days-
These numbers taking our names
Chorus:
Cool this madness down
Sop it right on time
Got one last chance better cool itdown
Before it takes our life
Man without bearings straggles in the wood
Counting on the wolf to forget about blood
Stacking up blocks for the god of numbers
Playing slow pitch with the angels of slumber
Now he is alone with the things he made
Shaking n the afterburn arcade
Games distract but they don't appease
What they attract they will not release
These strange nights and days-
These numbers taking out names
Chorus
Cool this madness down
Dance in a redemption town
Chant down desolation
Conscius movement come
Cool this madness down
(repeat)
Chorus

Common Rider sono stati una band ska punk formatasi nel 1999 da Jesse Michaels (chitarra, voce), Mass Giorgini (basso) e Dan Lumley (batteria). Il gruppo aveva un sound più morbido rispetto a quello dei Operation Ivy, la prima band di Michaels, ma conservava comunque la stessa energia e passione. Common Rider hanno pubblicato due album in studio: "Common Rider" (2001) e "The Last Ride" (2003), entrambi accolti positivamente dalla critica. La loro musica è caratterizzata da melodie ska orecchiabili, riff punk energici e testi introspettivi che esplorano temi come la solitudine, l'alienazione e la ricerca di un senso nella vita. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "The Last Ride", "Common Rider" e "Lost in the Crowd".
