Lyrics A Flock of Seagulls

A Flock of Seagulls

Ordinary Man

Wasting your life away in a factory

doesn't make it right

there's a price to pay for what you need

so you better start to fight

you have the eyes to see what's going down

but you can tell if it's a lie

if you had the power to change this world around

would the innocent still die

but I'm just an ordinary man

I'm doing everything I can

I just want to raise my family

I'm just an ordinary man

are you blinded by what you see on the TV screen

to the devils and their plans

does the blood of a dying man

or a starving child wash right off your hands

but I'm just an ordinary man

I'm doing everything I can

I just want to raise my family

yes I'm just an ordinary guy

and I'm not reaching for the sky

it don't make no difference to me

but I'm just an ordinary man

I just want to raise my family

yes I'm just an ordinary guy

and I'm not reaching for the sky

it don't make no difference you see

cause I'm just an ordinary man

something you'll never understand

why can't you just let me be

I'm just an ordinary man
