Ordinary People

Ordinary People (Original Version)

In the USA and the USSR

We are ordinary people leading ordinary lives
We use all so simple ways to get to simple happiness
We have ordinary problems and ordinary fears
We got take care of our business
Life goes on
And nothing changes

We don't understand much about those big shot politicians
Except for who's got most of them firecrackers
To blow up in our faces
Well I'd bet my shirt that way back there in the USSR
People think like you and me, hoping
Life goes on
And nothing changes

I say
We are ordinary people and our star bears no color
Red or white
We are ordinary people no matter what we stand for
All in all
We are ordinary people no matter where we come from
All in all
We're all the same
And it don't matter

In the USA and the USSR

I wonder what the Soviet Rambo looks like in their pictures
I'm sure as hell he's just as sweet as ours
Well there's got to be some Russian Sting
Who sings about us people
And our strongest will to live in peace, you know
Life goes on
And nothing changes

I say
We are ordinary people and our star bears no color
Red or white
We are ordinary people no matter where we come from
All in all
We are ordinary people and our star has no color
Red 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

Oh I say
We are ordinary people and our star bears no color
Red or white
We are ordinary people no matter where we come from
All in all
We are ordinary people and our star bears no color
Red 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 USA and the USSR
