Extra Ordinary

Never went to school learned right at home Dad gave me haircuts and hand-me-down clothes Mom said I was destined bound for great things They said I was special but what does that mean? I just wanted to be extra ordinary Be like the people on the TV Fade into the background where I can't be seen I just want to be extra ordinary We went to a church out kind of far Pro-life bumper stickers all over the car We wandered the wheat fields speaking in tongues They said we were chosen sons and daughters of God I dream of a suburb where I'd mow the lawn Chat with the neighbors out walking their dogs Smile for the papers hide in plain sight Pretend to be normal have a wonderful life I just wanted to be extra ordinary Be like the people on the TV Fade into the background where I can't be seen I just want to be extra ordinary
