lyrics

I’m the one who fights your holy wars
Wherever there’s an unjust cause
Or somewhere not worth fighting for
Im always in demand
Always where the hard rain falls
Breaking down all the walls
I answer when revolution calls
I’m the ordinary man , the ordinary woman

I’m the silent suffering majority
oppressed by the minority
Who rule with strange priority
Over what is right and wrong
The poor who starve when famine breaks
And if there’s a God oh my heart aches
For at times it seems like he forsakes
the ordinary man , the ordinary woman

Your sister’s brother’s child
I’m the meek and the mild
I’ll be there long after you have gone
Always in the evening news
The one who has no right to choose
And you never hear my spoken views
I’m your ordinary man , your ordinary woman

I’m the one who works to hauk the coal
Breaks his back and sells his soul
Ends up signing on the dole
For progress that we demand
I bear the child that’s born to be
Yeah woman man like you and me
Growing up and a living free
The ordinary man , yeah the ordinary woman.

Your sister’s brother’s child
I’m the meek and the mild
I’ll be there long after you have gone
Always in the silent frame
No one ever knows my name
I’m the one who always takes the blame
I’m your ordinary man , your ordinary woman
