Ordinary (Live)

Lyrics

Open my eyes, look outside Find an aching to get high After a night of heavy drinking And all the people on the street Got deadlines to meet And they just go about their day No time for blinking— It just got me thinking Am I just another silhouette A face behind a cigarette Who hasn't found their purpose yet In this cruel world I've heard of people who were great Who've changed the world And gone to space And all their names go down in history but then there's me— What does that make me? Am I just ordinary? Am I just ordinary? Am I just ordinary? Is there anyone at all, anyone at all Who sees what I've been seeing? Whether it's war, or divorce Or of course, politicians disagreeing? And yeah I try to speak my mind But sometimes it doesn't mean A goddamn thing 'Cause me, I'm just a small Just a small small part of A world that's never listening Is anybody listening? Oh why is nobody listening? 'Cause I'm living in the 21st century Oh, without an identity And I'm choking on economy Honestly how could I be Anything but ordinary? I dreamt my life Would be extraordinary But I don't want to be Just ordinary anymore Anymore Lay down my head Go to bed I slip into a pensive state of mind With all this pressure That I'm under It's no wonder I'll be losing sleep tonight
