Ordinary Man - Christy Moore[00:00:00]

I＇m an ordinary man nothing special nothing grand[00:00:56]

I＇ve had to work for everything I own[00:01:01]

I never asked for a lot I was happy with what I got[00:01:05]

Enough to keep my family and my home[00:01:10]

Now they say that times are hard and they＇ve handed me my cards[00:01:15]

They say there＇s not the work to go around[00:01:19]

And when the whistle blows the gates will finally close[00:01:24]

Tonight they＇re going to shut this factory down[00:01:29]

Then they＇ll tear it d-o-w-n[00:01:32]

I never missed a day nor went on strike for better pay[00:01:38]

For twenty years I served them best I could[00:01:43]

With a handshake and a cheque it seems so easy to forget[00:01:47]

Loyalty through the bad times and through good[00:01:53]

The owner says he＇s sad to see that things have got so bad[00:01:57]

But the captains of industry won＇t let him lose[00:02:01]

He still smokes his cigar and drives a car[00:02:06]

And still he takes his family on a cruise he＇ll never lose[00:02:11]

Well it seems to me such a cruel irony[00:02:21]

He＇s richer now then he ever was before[00:02:25]

Now my cheque is spent and I can＇t afford the rent[00:02:29]

There＇s one law for the rich one for the poor[00:02:34]

Every day I＇ve tried to salvage some of my pride[00:02:39]

To find some work so＇s I might pay my way[00:02:43]

Oh but everywhere I go the answer＇s always no[00:02:48]

There＇s no work for anyone here today no work today no work today[00:02:53]

And so condemned I stand just an ordinary man[00:03:07]

Like thousands beside me in the queue[00:03:11]

I watch my darling wife trying to make the best of life[00:03:16]

And God knows what the kids are going to do[00:03:21]

Now that we are faced with this human waste[00:03:26]

A generation cast aside[00:03:30]

And as long as I live I never will forgive[00:03:34]

You＇ve stripped me of my dignity and pride you＇ve stripped me bare[00:03:39]

You＇ve stripped me bare[00:03:47]

No work today[00:03:52]

No work today[00:03:57]
