On the streets, where life is cheap
And kids don't have enough to eat
This is no place for second chances
A poor man fights to keep his pride
And a rich man's never satisfied
Don't believe that that's the way God planned it

Well, it's a long road from here to understanding
Easy to look away and walk on by
Like it's just another ordinary day
Just another ordinary day

A bad night and bullets fly
Red lights flash and a mother cries
In the air you hear the words "no justice"
Poverty and violent crime
People say it's just a sign of the times
It's a way of life, but that's not really livin'

Well, it's a long road from here to understanding
Easy to look away and walk on by
Like it's just another ordinary day
Just another ordinary day

The world's going very wrong
And we still keep going on

Like it's just another ordinary day
Just another ordinary day

Well, it's a long road from here to understanding
It's easy to look away and walk on by
Like it's just another ordinary day
Just another ordinary day
Just another ordinary day
Another ordinary day

Ordinary...
