It’s just an ordinary song
That won’t take too long
‘ Cause there’s nothing much to sing about
When nothing goes wrong
An ordinary song
Won’t take too long
‘ Cause there’s nothing much to talk about
When nothing’s going on
Just ordinary people singing
Ordinary words
The very same emotions
As you’ve probably heard about
When nothing goes right
‘ Cause there’s nothing much to sing about
When nothing goes wrong
Nothing much to sing about
When nothing is wrong
Can that be right
Like there’s never been calamity
In ordinary life
In extraordinary circumstances
Soldiers will fight
For what ordinary people
Believe must be right
So I write an ordinary song
It won’t take too long
An ordinary song
It’s only three minutes long hey
Yeah yeah yeah ordinary hey
