Ordinary Man

Ordinary man

Ordinary manLook in the mirror

Tell me what do you see

Or can you lie to yourself

Like you're lyin' to me?Do you fall asleep real easy

Feelin' justified and right

Or do you wake up feelin' empty

In the middle of the night?You want to think you're different

But you know you never can

You're just another ordinary manHey politician

Can't believe a word you say

Almighty media

Whose truth d'you sell today?Watchdog of justice

Who keeps their eye on you?

Con man, song in hand

Who you singin' to?The more I get to see

The less I understand

I'm just another ordinary manOrdinary man

Just another ordinary man

Ordinary man

Comes a time to take a standNo rest for the wicked

They get it while they can

The preachers and the teachers

And your local congressmanEverybody plays the game

They played since time began

Lawyers and accountants

Your media manEverybody's talkin'

Nothin's gettin' said

Looking for the truth

You better take a look inside your headI see the flash of lightnin'

I hear the thunder roll

A hungry knife, a slice of life

Cuts another soulPower finds its way

To those who take a stand

Stand up ordinary manOnce I thought the truth

Was gonna set me free

But now I feel the chains

Of its responsibilityI will not be a puppet

I cannot play it safe

I'll give myself away

With a blind and simple faithI'm just the same as you

I just do the best I can

That's the only answer

For an ordinary manOrdinary man

Just another ordinary man

Ordinary manNo such thing as easy answers

You play to win

And you take your chancesJust another ordinary man

Here's to health, here's to wealth

May you never doubt yourselfJust another ordinary man
