the kreellers - ordinary many lyrics

(verse 1)
i’m an ordinary man
nothing special nothing grand
i’ve had to work for everything i own
for i’ve never had a lot
but i was thankful for what i got
enough to keep me family and me home

(verse 2)
they say that times are hard
and their handing me my card
there isn’t enough work to go around
when the whistle blows
the doors will finally close
tonight they’ll shut this factory down

(refrain)
and they’ll tear it down

(verse 3)
well i never missed a day
or went on strike for better pay
for twenty yеars i served them bеst i could
with a handshake and a cheque
it seems so easy to forget
the loyalty though hard times and the good
(verse 4)
the boss man says he’s sad
to see things have gone so bad
but the captains of industry won’t let him lose
he still drives his car
and smokes his big cigars
and still he takes his family on a cruise

(refrain)
he’ll never lose

(verse 5)
now it seems to me
such a cruel irony
he’s richer now than every once before
and now my cheque is spent
and i can’t afford the rent
there’s one law for the rich and one for the poor

(verse 6)
now everyday i try
to salvage some of me pride
to find a job for which i might pave me way
but everywhere i go
the answers always no
there’s no work for anyone here today
(refrain)
no work today

(verse 7)
and now condemned i stand
just an ordinary man
like thousands beside me in the queue
i watch me darling wife
try to make the best of life
and god knows what the kids a going to do

(verse 8)
now that we are faced
with this human waste
a whole generation pasted aside
and as long as i live
i never will forgive
my ship of dignity and pride

(outro)
you stripped me bare
you stripped me bare
no work today
no work today
