Swing Out Sister - Ordinary People lyrics

What you see may only be skin deep But what you feel inside is there for keeps Can't know happiness 'till you've been sad But tears drown all the joy you ever had Talkin' about people Who spreads wanton hurt Talkin' about people Still waiting for their turn Talkin' about people Living in uncertainty Ordinary people People like you and me Seen your life before you slip away Hanging on to every Irish day Can't keep up the face But can't slow down Life's a rat race there's no short way around Talkin' about people Who didn't make the grade Talkin' about people Who's just another paid Talkin about people Holdin' on for dignity Ordinary people People like you and me You may have nothing else but you've got pride You have nothing else but you've got pride Until there's nothing to sacrifice We'll survive We'll survive Talkin' about people Talkin' about people Existing from day to day Talkin' about people Who lost their way Talkin' about people Living by destiny Ordinary people Like you and me When hunger bites you deep down inside You may have nothing else but you've got pride And when there's nowhere to run or hide You'll find there's no short cut and there's no rewrite Until there's nothing to sacrifice We'll survive Never give up till it's gone Together we'll be strong We'll survive (Spoken) In this we breathe the same air We cherish our children Never give up until it's gone We'll survive
