<pre><font size='+2'>ORDINARY MAN lyrics CHRISTY MOORE</font><br>I`m an ordinary man, nothin` special nothin` grand,<br />
 I`ve had to work for everything I own,<br />
 Well I never asked for a lot, I was happy with what I got,<br />
 Enough to keep my family and my home,<br />
 Now they say that times are hard & they`ve handed me my cards,<br />
 They say there`s not the work to go around,<br />
 When the whistle blows the gates will finally close,<br />
 Tonight they`re going to shut this factory down,<br />
 Then they`ll tear it down.<br />
 <br />
 I never missed a day nor went on strike for better pay,<br />
 For 20 years I served them best I could,<br />
 With a handshake and a cheque it seems so easy to forget,<br />
 Loyalty through the bad times and the good,<br />
 The owner says he`s sad to see that things have got so bad,<br />
 But the Captains of industry won`t let him loose,<br />
 He still drives a car and smokes a cigar,<br />
 And still he takes his family on a cruise,<br />
 He`ll never lose.<br />
 <br />
 Now it seems to me to be such a cruel irony,<br />
 He`s richer now ever he was before,<br />
 Now my cheque is all spent and I can`t afford the rent,<br />
 There`s one law for the rich, one for the poor,<br />
 Every day I`ve tried to salvage some of my pride,<br />
 To find some work so`s I might pay my way,<br />
 But everywhere I go, the answer is always no,<br />
 There`s no work for anyone here today,<br />
 No work today.	<br />
 <br />
 And so condemned I stand, just an ordinary man,<br />
 Like thousands beside me in the queue,<br />
 I watch my darlin` wife tryin` to make the best of life,<br />
 God knows what the kids are goin` to do,<br />
 Now that we are faced with this human waste,<br />
 A generation cast aside,<br />
 For as long as I live, I never will forgive,<br />
 You`ve stripped me of my dignity & pride,<br />
 You`ve stripped me bare.<br />
 <br />

I`m an ordinary man, nothin` special nothin` grand,
I`ve had to work for everything I own,
Well I never asked for a lot, I was happy with what I got,
Enough to keep my family and my home,
Now they say that times are hard & they`ve handed me my cards,
They say there`s not the work to go around,
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 20 years I served them best I could,
With a handshake and a cheque it seems so easy to forget,
Loyalty through the bad times and the good,
The owner says he`s sad to see that things have got so bad,
But the Captains of industry won`t let him loose,
He still drives a car and smokes a cigar,
And still he takes his family on a cruise,
He`ll never lose.

Now it seems to me to be such a cruel irony,
He`s richer now ever he was before,
Now my cheque is all spent and I can`t afford the rent,
There`s one law for the rich, one 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,
But everywhere I go, the answer is always no,
There`s no work for anyone here today,
No work today.

And so condemned I stand, just an ordinary man,
Like thousands beside me in the queue,
I watch my darlin` wife tryin` to make the best of life,
God knows what the kids are goin` to do,
Now that 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 & pride,
You`ve stripped me bare.
