Average Person |
| Look at the average person |
| Speak to the man in the street |
| Can you imagine the first one youd meet? |
| Well, Im talking to a former engine driver |
| Trying to find out what he used to do Tells me that he always kept his engine |
| Spit and polished up as good as new |
| But he said his only great ambition |
| Was to work with lions in a zoo |
| Oh to work with lions in a zoo |
| Yes dear, you heard right |
| Told me his ambition was to work with lions every night |
| Look at the average person |
| Speak to the man on the beat |
| Can you imagine the first one youd meet? |
| Well, I met a woman working as a waitress |
| I asked exactly what it was she did |
| Said she worked the summer crowd at seasides |
| Winter time she ran away and hid |
| Once she had a hollywood audition |
| But the part was given to a kid |
| Yes, the part was given to a kid |
| Yes sir, you heard it right |
| Hollywood ambition made a starlet grown up overnight |
| Well I bumped into a man whod been a boxer |
| Asked him what had been his greatest night |
| He looked into the corners of his memory |
| Searching for a picture of the fight |
| But he said he always had a feeling |
| That he lacked a little extra height |
| (could have used a little extra height) |
| Yes mate, you heard right |
| He always had a feeling that he might have lacked a little height |
| Look at the average person |
| Speak to the man in the queue |
| Can you imagine the first one is you? |
| Look at the average person. |
