Look 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 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

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 accountant - your media man



Everybody's talkin' but nothin's gettin' said

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 knive, a slice of life

It cuts another soul



Power finds a way to those who take a stand

Stand up ordinary man



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...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



CHORUS
