Ordinaire

I'm just an ordinary guy
Sometimes I just don't feel like doing anything
I'd smoke some weed, I'd drink some beer
I'd make music with my buddy Pierre
But I gotta think about my career
I'm a popular singer

You want me to be a god
If you only knew how old I feel
I can't sleep, I'm too anxious
When I sing, it gets a little better
But this job, it's dangerous
The more you give, the more they want

When I'm done and out on the street
I won't have my big crowd anymore
That's when I'll find myself all bare
The day I can't take it anymore
There'll be others, younger, crazier
To make the boogaloos dance

I love my neighbor, I love my fans
All I want is for it to click
I don't really care about the critics
They're just sympathetic losers
I'm not some psychedelic clown
My life is all about the music

If I sing, it's so you can hear me
When I shout, it's to defend myself
I really want to be understood
I want to travel around the world
Before I die and get buried
See what the rest of the world looks like

Around me, there's war
Fear, hunger, and misery
I wish we could all be brothers
That's why we're here on this earth
I'm not a popular singer
I'm just an ordinary guy
