Ordinary Man |
After it happened, when all the smoke cleared, |
How did it feel to you? |
Did it seem weird? |
Such a charmed life, nothing ever mattered, |
Everything was yours to take |
One mistake and |
Everything fell apart, everything changed, |
Sitting there bleeding out, isn’t it strange? |
When they hit you, you can feel them hit you, |
Weaknesses they all can see |
Just like me |
Now your heart’s all done |
But your head won’t let you run |
You’re dying where you stand. |
All this «wait and see», |
All this «what will be, will be», |
That sounds like the plan |
Of an ordinary man |
You say no one tells you the ending |
But it ends this way |
You can take it back if you wanted |
But it might be over anyway |
Haven’t you done enough saving by now? |
Can’t they take care of each other somehow? |
All the questions: «Is it really over?» |
«Is he gonna take the fall?» |
Worst of all |
You start to think maybe they’re right about you |
Maybe it’s over now, maybe it’s true |
And you know you’re never gonna stand up |
Be who you’re supposed to be |
Just like me |
'Cause your heart’s all done |
But your head won’t let you run |
You’re dying where you stand. |
All this «wait and see», |
All this «what will be, will be», |
That sounds like the plan |
Of an ordinary man |
