|
Look in the mirror tell me what do you see |
|
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 man |
|
Hey 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 man |
|
CHORUS: Ordinary man, |
|
Just another ordinary man, ordinary man |
|
Comes a time to take a stand |
|
No rest for the wicked - they get it while they can |
|
The preachers and the teachers and your local |
|
Congressman |
|
Everybody plays the game they played since time began |
|
Lawyers and accountants - your media man |
|
O-Yeah, O-yeah |
|
Everybody's talkin' but not much gettin' said |
|
If You're looking for the truth you better look inside your head |
|
I see the flash of lightnin' |
|
I hear the thunder roll |
|
A hungry knife, a slice of life |
|
It cuts another soul |
|
O-Yeah, O-yeah |
|
Power finds a way to those who take a stand |
|
Stand up ordinary man |
|
O-yeah, yeah, yeah |
|
Once I thought the truth was gonna set me free |
|
But now I feel the chains of its' responsibility |
|
I will not be a puppet, |
|
I cannot play it safe |
|
I'll give myself away with a blind and simple faith |
|
I'm just the same as you |
|
I just do the best |
|
I can That's the only answer,answer,answer<fade>...for an ordinary man |
|
CHORUS No such thing as easy answers |
|
You play to win and you take your chances |
|
CHORUS Here's to health, here's to wealth |
|
May you never doubt yourself |
|
