paroles de chanson Ordinary Man - Christy Moore
I'm
an
ordinary
man,
nothing
special
nothing
grand
I've
had
to
work
for
everything
I
own
I
never
asked
for
a
lot,
I
was
happy
with
what
I
got
Enough
to
keep
my
family
and
my
home
They
say
that
times
are
hard
and
they've
handed
me
my
cards
They
say
there's
not
the
work
to
go
around
But
when
the
whistle
blows,
the
gates
will
finally
close
Tonight
they're
going
to
shut
this
factory
down
Then
they'll
tear
it
down
I
never
missed
a
day
nor
went
on
strike
for
better
pay
For
twenty
years
I
served
them
best
I
could
Now
with
a
handshake
and
a
cheque
it
seems
so
easy
to
forget
Loyalty
through
the
bad
times
and
through
good
The
owner
says
he's
sad
to
see
that
things
have
got
so
bad
But
the
captains
of
industry
won't
let
him
lose
He
still
smokes
his
cigar
and
he
drives
a
brand
new
car
And
still
he
takes
his
family
on
a
cruise,
he'll
never
lose
It
seems
to
me
such
a
cruel
irony
He's
richer
now
then
he
ever
was
before
And
now
my
cheque
is
spent,
I
can't
afford
the
rent
There's
one
law
for
the
rich,
one
law
for
the
poor
Every
day
I've
tried
to
salvage
some
of
my
pride
To
find
some
work
so's
I
might
pay
my
way
Oh
but
everywhere
I
go,
the
answer's
always
no
No
work
for
anyone
here
today,
no
work
today
No
work
today
And
so
condemned
I
stand,
an
ordinary
man
Like
thousands
beside
me
in
the
queue
I
watch
my
darling
wife
trying
to
make
the
best
of
life
And
God
knows
what
the
kids
are
going
to
do
Now
we
are
faced
with
this
human
waste
A
generation
cast
aside
For
as
long
as
I
live,
I
never
will
forgive
You've
stripped
me
of
my
dignity
and
pride,
you've
stripped
me
bare
You've
stripped
me
bare
No
work
today
No
work
today
