Ordinary (Live)

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
