Lyrics
Ordinary People
That's what we all are
I'm not trying to be someone great
So I can wallow in your shallow praise
It's all in vain
We all fade away, someday
And as quickly as joy comes
is how quickly it can be taken away
I know the truth, i'm just like you
See, i'm an ordinary person
I've entered and i'll leave this earth
as you will
though you may have more riches
you're not any better
Don't you know it doesn't count for anything
I know the truth, i'm just like you
I'm not being dillusional
I know this world i live in
and strictly through observation
When you accept the truth
You find you becmoe a better person
I'm just like you
