Put on a coat, put on a hat, step out the door

Find you're tumbling down the steps of life

You wanna make a difference but the fact's the fact you got

Too many things upon your mind

Wanna make it big but you're playing for time

Can't forgive the life you live

And if you had a choice would fulfill your wish 'cause

Just an average man (Average man)

Do the best I can

I go to work every day, collect my pay

Save it all up for another great day, another great day

What the hell can I say?

I can't go back to sleep, I hope it goes away

You know what they say, skies are grey, another grey day

You know it's here to stay

Workin' 'til the day of workin' no more

Workin' up sweat for the ones you adore

Complicated circles, gets it off from the curb

Push them to the side, let yourself be heard

Headache, heartache, make or break

Who gets the biggest slice of the cake?

Day after day, night after day

For your pay, just another day

Just an average man (Average man)

Do the best I can

I go to work every day, collect my pay

Save it all up for another great day, another great day

What the hell can I say?

I can't go back to sleep, I hope it goes away

You know what they say, skies are grey, another grey day

To get the things you want out of life

You know the score, you know the price

A list of priorities you gotta get right

Decisions, decisions, make those decisions

No need to look back, there ain't no forgivin'

There ain't no forgivin'

There ain't no forgivin'

That's right

Just an average man (Average man)

Do the best I can

I go to work every day, collect my pay

Save it all up for another great day, another great day

What the hell can I say?

I can't go back to sleep, I hope it goes away

You know what they say, skies are grey, another grey day

You know it's here to stay

Just an average man (Average man)

Do the best I can

I go to work every day, collect my pay

Save it all up for another great day, another great day

Hey, what the hell can I say?

I can't go back to sleep, I hope it goes away

You know what they say, skies are grey, another grey day

Just an average man (Average man)

Do the best I can

I go to work every day, collect my pay

Save it all up for another great day, another great day

What the hell can I say?

I can't go back to sleep, I hope it goes away

You know what they say, skies are grey, another grey day

You know it's here to stay

Just an average man (Average man)

Do the best I can

I go to work every day

And save it all up

For another great day
