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 [ guitar ] 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
