I'm an ordAminary man, notGhing special, nothinFg grand, Am
I've hadF to work for everythingG I own. Am
I nAmever asked for a lot, I wGas happy with Fwhat I'd got, Am
enougFh to keep my family and myG home. Am
Now they say that Ftimes are hard and they've hGanded me my cards, C Am
they say Fthere's not the work to go around. E
And when Amthe whistle blows, the gaGtes will finallFy close, Am
toniFght they're going to shut this factGory down, Am
then they'll tear it do??..wFn. G Am F G Am
I Amnever missed a day nor wGent on strike for better pFay, Am
for twentFy years I served theGm best I could, Am
now with a handshaAmke and a cheque it seems so Geasy to forget, F Am
loFyalty through the bad times aGnd through good. Am
The ownerF says he's sad to see thaGt things have got so badC, Am
but the captaFins of industry won't let him lose. E
He stiAmll drives a car aGnd smokes his cFigar, Am
and stillF he takes his family on Ga cruise, Am
he'll never lo??..F..seG. Am F G Am
Now it seemsAm to me such Ga cruel irony, F Am
he's ricFher now than ever he was Gbefore. Am
NAmow my cheque is spent and I caGn't afford theF rent, Am
there's one laFw for the rich, one foGr the poor. Am
EvFery day I've tried to Gsalvage some of my prideC, Am
to finFd some work so's I might pay my way. E
Oh, but everyAmwhere I go, the anGswer's alwaFys ?No !? Am
there's no wFork for anyone hereG today, Am
no work tod??..?ayF.? G Am F G F G
And so Amcondemned I stand, just anG ordinary man, F Am
like thousaFnds beside me in Gthe queue. Am
I Amwatch my darling wife tryinGg to make the best oFf life, Am
and God knFows what the kids are going toG do. Am
NowF that we are faced with Gthis humaCn waste, Am
a genFeration cast aside. E
For as long Amas I live, I Gnever wiFll forgive, Am
you've strippeFd me of my dignity and pridGe. Am
You've stripped me ba??...re. (3Fx) G Am F G Am
