Ordinary Heroes Lyrics

Took a look at this morning's paper same old story as before

Headline read some crazy dictator trying to start another war

I can't wait for the day when the bad guys finally lose

And ordinary heroes make the news



Extra, extra read all about it mother of four

Takes a part-time job, does the shopping folds the laundry

When her man works late she keeps his dinner hot

Don't you know if it were up to me I'd give credit where credit is due?

And let ordinary heroes make the news



I'd turn on the tube but what's the use I know what I will see

Another madman's on the loose and we're the ones who set him free

I wish someone could talk some sense into those TV crews

And let ordinary heroes make the news



Eye-witness report tune in at ten man gets up

And goes to work again, slaves all day to cover them bills

Don't want to pay his taxes but you know he will

If I had a camera and a satellite I'd give the world a better point of view

And let ordinary heroes make the news



We oughta fill the front pages

And the TV screens with folks just like you

And let ordinary heroes make the news

Yeah, let ordinary heroes make the news
