Ordinary People — текст песни (Swing Out Sisters)

What you see may only be skin deep

But what you feel inside is there for keeps

Cant know happiness till youve been sad

But tears drown all the joy you ever had



Talkin about people

Who spreads wanton hurt

Talkin about people

Still waiting for their turn

Talkin about people

Living in incertainty

Ordinary people

People like you and me



Seen your life before you slip away

Hanging on to every irish day

Cant keep up the face

But cant slow down

Lifes a rat race theres no short way around



Talkin about people

Who didnt make the grade

Talkin about people

Whos just another paid

Talkin about people

Holdin on for dignity

Ordinary people

People like you and me



You may have nothing else but youve got pride

You have nothing else but youve got pride

Until theres nothing to sacrifice

Well survive

Well survive

Talkin about people



Talkin about people

Existing from day to day

Talkin about people

Who lost their way

Talkin about people

Living by destiny

Ordinary people

Like you and me



When hunger bites you deep down inside

You may have nothing else but youve got pride

And when theres nowhere to run or hide

Youll find theres no short cut and theres no rewrite

Until theres nothing to sacrifice

Well survive

Never give up till its gone

Together well be strong

Well survive



(spoken)

In this we breathe the same air

We cherish our children

Never give up until its gone

Well survive
