《Ordinary Man(Live)》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:30] A generation cast aside

[00:03:34] 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

[00:03:47] You＇ve stripped me bare

[00:03:52] No work today

[00:03:57] No work today
