Cast away all the enemies of yesterday

To alleviate all the memories that come our way

There's a better life now you know that I am on your side

Your beady eyes burn a hole right through the back of mine

I am out of time.

[Chorus]

I'm an ordinary man

Like everybody else

Just a common counterfeit

I'm an ordinary man.

Hesitate while the world is just a step away

To recreate all the innocence that time can take

I am wide awake.

[Chorus]

I'm an ordinary man

Like everybody else

Just a common counterfeit

I'm an ordinary man.

[Chorus]

I'm an ordinary man

Like everybody else

Just a common counterfeit

I'm an ordinary man.
