Ordinary People

We have virtue in a bottle,
Religion without tears
All the wonders of the world,
The thrills without the fears
Pain is an illusion,
There's a fortune in your smile,
But let's forget the game just for a while
Let's pretend we're human for a day
Like ordinary people for a change
Let's pretend we're human,
Let's pretend we're human,
Let's pretend we're human for a day
Let the food book guide your soul,
For your sadness there's a pill;
When your friends have grown too old, send them rolling down the hill
And spend your days in sunshine,
Let your heart forget the lie,
But there's a kind of beauty
That money just can't buy

Let's pretend we're human for a day
Like ordinary people for a change
Let's pretend we're human,
Let's pretend we're human,
Let's pretend we're human for a day
I see us breaking down the walls we've built around our hearts
I see us putting back together what hate has torn apart
It might be just a dream, just a shadow on the wall,
But for one day let's pretend,
We're human after all
Let's pretend we're human for a day
Ordinary people for a change
Let's pretend we're human,
Let's pretend we're human,
Oh, let's pretend we're human for a day.
