Ordinary People

In the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R... We are ordinary people leading ordinary lives We use lots of simple ways to get simple happiness We have ordinary problems, and ordinary fears We all take care of our business Life goes on, and nothing changes We don't understand much 'bout those big shot politicians And whose got most of them firecrackers to blow up in our faces I bet my shirt that way back there in the U.S.S.R. People think like you and me, but Life goes on, and nothing changes We are ordinary people And our star bears no colour black or white We are ordinary people No matter what we stand for all in all We're all the same And it don't matter In the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R... I wonder what the Soviet president looks like in their pictures I'm sure as hell he's just as sweet as ours There's got to be some Russian singer who sings about his people And how strong is the will to live in peace, but Life goes on, and nothing changes And I say: We are ordinary people And our star bears no colour black or white We are ordinary people No matter what we stand for all in all We're all the same And it don't matter All right, everybody stand! We are ordinary people And our star bears no colour black or white We are ordinary people No matter where we come from all we are We are ordinary people And our star bears no colour black or white We are ordinary people No matter what we stand for all in all We're all the same And it don't matter In the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R...
