Lyrics

Ordinary Man
[Verse 1]
There's a man who would give his right hand to be free
But he knows he must give his life
So he works all day long filled with hate and spite
And goes home, takes it out on his wife

[Chorus]
Ordinary man
Ordinary man
Ordinary man, he tries
Ordinary man
Ordinary man
Ordinary man, he lies

[Verse 2]
Sweating bullets, if he's late, getting hard for a thrill
From good to bad to the grave
He has some kids who he raises to be like him
While they live, they will hardly be saved

[Chorus]
God will love you when you're gone, until then say your prayers
Treat the world with love and joy, and hide the grief that you bear
Hide the grief that you bear

[Electric guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
In a future generation, man will live in peace
Of the world, of the mind, of the soul
But no ordinary man will see that day
It will come from the ground where they toiled

[Chorus]
Ordinary man
Ordinary man
Ordinary man, he cries
Ordinary man
Ordinary man
Ordinary man, just dies
[electric guitar outro]
