Il testo della Ordinary man

Ordinary man
Ordinary man

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

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

Everybody's talkin'
Nothin's gettin' said
Looking for the truth
You better take a look inside your head

I see the flash of lightnin'
I hear the thunder roll
A hungry knife, a slice of life
Cuts another soul

Power finds its 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

Ordinary man
Just another ordinary man
Ordinary man

No such thing as easy answers
You play to win
And you take your chances

Just another ordinary man
Here's to health, here's to wealth
May you never doubt yourself

Just another ordinary man
Ordinary man
