Ordinary Man Lyrics

Look in the mirror tell me what do you see
Or can you lie to yourself like you're lyin' to me
Do you fall asleep real easy feelin' justified and right
Or do you wake up feelin' empty in the middle of the night
You want to think you're different, but you know you never can
You're just another ordinary man

Hey politician, can't believe a word you say
Almighty media, whose truth d'you serve today?
Watchdog of justice, who keeps their eye on you?
Con man, song in hand, who you singin' to?
The more I get to see, the less I understand
I'm just another ordinary man

CHORUS:
Ordinary man
Ordinary man
Just another ordinary man
Comes a time to take a stand

No rest for the wicked - they get it while they can
The preachers and the teachers and your local Congressman
Everybody plays the game they played since time began
Lawyers and accountant - your media man

Everybody's talkin' but nothin's gettin' said
You're looking for the truth you better look inside your head


I see the flash of lightnin'
I hear the thunder roll
A hungry knife, a slice of life
It cuts another soul

Power finds a way to those who take a stand
Stand up ordinary man

Once I thought the truth was gonna set me free
But now I feel the chains of its responsibility
I will not be a puppet I cannot play it safe
I'll give myself away with a blind and simple faith
I'm just the same as you I just do the best I can
That's the only answer... for an ordinary man

CHORUS

No such thing as easy answers
You play to win and you take your chances

CHORUS

Here's to health, here's to wealth
May you never doubt yourself

CHORUS

There are several artists called Triumph:
1) A Canadian rock band
2) A Scottish Christian rock band
3) A Brazilian black metal band
4) An Italian Eurobeat group
5) A Danish band playing eclectic music

1. Triumph is a rock band which formed in 1975 in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The band was formed by Rik Emmett (lead vocals, guitar), Mike Levine (bass, keyboards) and Gil Moore (drums, vocals). Eight of the band's albums were certified gold or higher, and Triumph was nominated for multiple Juno Awards, including Group of the Year Award in 1979, 1985, 1986 and 1987. The trio are known for their radio singles "Hold On", "Lay It On The Line", "Magic Power", "Never Surrender" and "Somebody's Out There". Drummer Gil Moore sang some of their hard-rockin' songs, and is perhaps best known for singing Triumph's popular cover of Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way".

Like their fellow Canadians Rush and Saga, Triumph began building their reputation across North America as a live band, peaking in the early to mid 1980s. In 1988, singer Rik Emmett left for a solo career and the band eventually split in 1993. The original lineup of the band briefly re-united in 2008.

2. A Scottish Christian rock band who released at least three albums. They were later known as Triumph UK to distinguish themselves from the Canadian band.

4) Triumph is a eurobeat group that very occasionally appears on the Super Eurobeat compilations.

5) Triumph is a band, spawned in Vanløse, Denmark by two friends named Hjalmar and Niklas. They started to create their first songs immediately after attending a Slipknot concert in Copenhagen. Their first two songs were made only by natural body sounds (Farts and Burps) recorded on their computer. A few days later, Jonas and Johannes, two associates joined them and the quartet worked on music releases. Apparently, their greatest hits are "God Tur Til Færøerne" (a song dedicated to Niklas), and "En Kæmpe Bunke Lort".
