Lyrics Ordinary Man - Jonathan Coulton
After
it
happened,
when
all
the
smoke
cleared,
How
did
it
feel
to
you?
Did
it
seem
weird?
Such
a
charmed
life,
nothing
ever
mattered,
Everything
was
yours
to
take
One
mistake
and
Everything
fell
apart,
everything
changed,
Sitting
there
bleeding
out,
isn't
it
strange?
When
they
hit
you,
you
can
feel
them
hit
you,
Weaknesses
they
all
can
see
Just
like
me
Now
your
heart's
all
done
But
your
head
won't
let
you
run
You're
dying
where
you
stand.
All
this
"wait
and
see",
All
this
"what
will
be,
will
be",
That
sounds
like
the
plan
Of
an
ordinary
man
You
say
no
one
tells
you
the
ending
But
it
ends
this
way
You
can
take
it
back
if
you
wanted
But
it
might
be
over
anyway
Haven't
you
done
enough
saving
by
now?
Can't
they
take
care
of
each
other
somehow?
All
the
questions:
"Is
it
really
over?"
"Is
he
gonna
take
the
fall?"
Worst
of
all
You
start
to
think
maybe
they're
right
about
you
Maybe
it's
over
now,
maybe
it's
true
And
you
know
you're
never
gonna
stand
up
Be
who
you're
supposed
to
be
Just
like
me
'Cause
your
heart's
all
done
But
your
head
won't
let
you
run
You're
dying
where
you
stand.
All
this
"wait
and
see",
All
this
"what
will
be,
will
be",
That
sounds
like
the
plan
Of
an
ordinary
man
