I'm an ordinary man, nothing special nothing grand
C# D# Fm
I've had to work for everything I own
Fm D# C#
Fm
I never asked for a lot, I was happy with what I'd got
C# D# Fm
Enough to keep my family and my home
C# D#
G# Fm
Now they say that times are hard and they've handed me my cards
C# C
They say there's not the work to go around
Fm D# C#
Fm
And when the whistle blows, the gates will finally close
C# D#
Fm
Tonight they're going to shut this factory down
C# D# Fm C# D#
Fm
Then they'll tear it d-o-w-n
Fm D# C#
Fm
I never missed a day nor went on strike for higher pay
C# D# Fm
For twenty years I served them best I could
Fm D# C#
Fm
Now with a handshake and a cheque it seems so easy to forget
C# D#
Fm
Loyalty through the bad times and through good
C# D# G#
Fm
The owner says he's sad to see that things have got so bad
C#
C
But the captains of industry won't let him lose
Fm D# C# Fm
He still drives a car and smokes his cigar
C# D# Fm
And still he takes his family on a cruise,
C# D# Fm C# D# Fm
he'll never l-o-s-e
Fm D# C# Fm
Well it seems to me such a cruel irony
C# D# Fm
He's richer now than ever he was before
Fm D# C#
Fm
Now my cheque is spent and I can't afford the rent
C# D#
Fm
There's one law for the rich, one for the poor
C# D# G# Fm
Every day I've tried to salvage some of my pride
C#
C
To find some work so's I might pay my way
Fm D# C#
Fm
Oh but everywhere I go, the answer's always no
C# D# Fm
There's no work for anyone here today,
C# D# Fm C# D# Fm
no work t-o-D-A-y
Fm D# C#
Fm
And so condemned I stand, just an ordinary man
C# D# Fm
Like thousands beside me in the queue
Fm D# C#
Fm
I watch my darling wife trying to make the best of life
C# D#
Fm
And God knows what the kids are going to do
C# D# G# Fm
Now that we are faced ... with this human waste
C# C
F ge---neration cast aside
Fm D# C# Fm
And as long as I live, I never will forgive
C# D# Fm
You've stripped me of my dignity and pride,
C# D# Fm
C# D# Fm
you've stripped me B-A-r-E, you've stripped me B-A-r-E,
C# D# Fm
you've stripped me B-A-r-E.
