So everything is average nowadays   Everything is average nowadays   But everyone would do it if they can   When everything is going down the pan   When everyone is following the craze   Of everything is average      Now you say it's getting better   But I don't really see the signs   Said it is too different   You thought it would be suicide      There's not much to believe in   Left up on the shelf   So get your coats, we're leaving   We'll just do something else      Oh, everything is average nowadays   Everything is average nowadays   But everything is of no consequence   'Cos everyone is sitting on the fence   And everything will always stay the same   'Cos everything is average      Now you said we didn't need it   You threw away the book of rules   You thought that we should read it   I wouldn't even know how to      There's not much to believe in   Left up on the shelf   So get your coats, we're leaving   We'll just do something else      All I need is a ball and a wall   Or a sledge and a hill in heavy weather   All I need is a ball and a wall   A sledge and a hill in heavy weather      Not much to believe in   Left up on the shelf   So get your coats, we're leaving   We'll just do something else      Oh, everything is average nowadays   Everything is average nowadays   When everyone would do it if they can   When everything is going down the pan   When everyone is following the craze   When everything is average nowadays
