Lyrics

ORDINARY
Words and Music by Daniel Curzon (copyright, 2018)
VERSE #1:
OTHER PEOPLE ARE SO STRESSED, IT SEEMS,
FRANTIC AND OBSESSED ABOUT THEIR DREAMS.
IT'S CLEAR THEY ARE ALWAYS ON THE MAKE.
GIVE ME THIS AND THAT! THEY TAKE! SO FAKE! SO FAKE.
CHORUS:
I SMILE WHEN I'M BEING ORDINARY.
REALLY DON'T MIND BEING ORDINARY.
PERFECTLY FINE BEING ORDINARY.
FOR THAT, I CAN ALWAYS FIND THE TIME. IT'S SUBLIME!
VERSE #2:
I WON'T FIND HAPPINESS IN ALGEBRA,
JUST BECAUSE I OUGHT TO WANT IT . . . DUH!
CAN'T BE ANYTHING I WANT TO BE.
DON'T HAVE EVERY TALENT, CAN'T YOU SEE!? NOT ME!
CHORUS:
I SMILE WHEN I'M BEING ORDINARY.
REALLY DON'T MIND BEING ORDINARY.
PERFECTLY FINE BEING ORDINARY.
FOR THAT, I CAN ALWAYS FIND THE TIME. IT'S SUBLIME!
VERSE #3:
WHY IS EVERYBODY ALWAYS SO EXTREME?!
WHY DOES EVERYBODY MAKE ME WANT TO SCREAM?!
I AM NOT LAZY. IT'S NOT TRUE!
THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH THAT I CAN DO.UNLIKE YOU! UNLIKE YOU!
CHORUS:
I SMILE WHEN I'M BEING ORDINARY.
REALLY DON'T MIND BEING ORDINARY.
PERFECTLY FINE BEING ORDINARY.
FOR THAT, I CAN ALWAYS FIND THE TIME. IT'S SUBLIME!
VERSE #4:
STOP PUSHING ME TO ALWAYS BE ON THE PHONE.
STOP FORCING ME TO BE SELFISH TO THE BONE.
STOP TELLING ME I MUST BE PRESIDENT.
MUST KILL A DRAGON AND ALSO PAY THE RENT. I VENT! I VENT!
CHORUS:
I SMILE WHEN I'M BEING ORDINARY.
REALLY DON'T MIND BEING ORDINARY.
PERFECTLY FINE BEING ORDINARY.
FOR THAT, I CAN ALWAYS FIND THE TIME. IT'S SUBLIME!

ADD: FOR THAT I CAN ALWAYS FIND THE TIME.
IT'S SUBLIME!
IT'S SUBLIME!
