Ordinary Man - Christy Moore[00:00:02]

I'm an ordinary man nothing special nothing grand[00:00:19]

I've had to work for everything I own[00:00:24]

I never asked for a lot I was happy with what I got[00:00:30]

Enough to keep my family and my home[00:00:35]

Now they say that times are hard and they've handed me my cards[00:00:41]

They say there's not the work to go around[00:00:46]

And when the whistle blows the gates will finally close[00:00:52]

Tonight they're going to shut this factory down[00:00:57]

Then they'll tear it d-o-w-n[00:01:02]

I never missed a day nor went on strike for better pay[00:01:14]

For twenty years I served them best I could[00:01:20]

Now with a handshake and a cheque it seems so easy to forget[00:01:25]

Loyalty through the bad times and through good[00:01:31]

The owner says he's sad to see that things have got so bad[00:01:36]

But the captains of industry won't let him lose[00:01:42]

He still drives a car and smokes his cigar[00:01:48]

And still he takes his family on a cruise he'll never lose[00:01:53]

Well it seems to me such a cruel irony[00:02:10]

He's richer now then he ever was before[00:02:15]

Now my cheque is spent and I can't afford the rent[00:02:21]

There's one law for the rich one for the poor[00:02:26]

Every day I've tried to salvage some of my pride[00:02:32]

To find some work so's I might pay my way[00:02:37]

Oh but everywhere I go the answer's always no[00:02:43]

There's no work for anyone here today no work today[00:02:48]

And so condemned I stand just an ordinary man[00:03:05]

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[00:03:22]

Now that we are faced with this human waste[00:03:28]

A generation cast aside[00:03:33]

And as long as I live I never will forgive[00:03:39]

You've stripped me of my dignity and pride you've stripped me bare[00:03:45]

You've stripped me bare You've stripped me bare[00:03:55]
