Put on your coat put on your hat   Step out the door find you're tumbling down the steps of life   You want to make a difference but a fact's a fact   You got too many things upon your mind   You want to make it big but you're playing for time   Can't forgive the life you live   And if you had a choice you'd fulfill your wish      Coz just an average man   Do the best I can I go to work everyday   Collect my pay save it all up for another grey day, another great day   What the hell can I say, I can't go back to sleep   All because I wake No what they say, skies are grey Another great day   You know its here to stay      Working up sweat for the ones you adore   Complicated circumstances often occur   Push them to the side let yourself be heard   Headache, heartache make or break   Who gets the biggest slice of the cak   Day after day, night after day For your pay just another day      Coz just an average man   Do the best I can I go to work everyday   Collect my pay save it all up for another grey day, another great day   What the hell can I say, I can't go back to sleep   All because I wake No what they say, skies are grey   Another great day   To get the things you want out of life   You know the score you know the price   A list of priorities you got to get right   Decision, decisions make those decisions   No need to look back there aint no forgiving   There aint no forgiving, there aint no forgiving      That's right Just an average man   Do the best I can I go to work everyday   Collect my pay save it all up for another grey day, another great day   What the hell can I say, I can't go back to sleep   All because I wake   Know o what they say, skies are grey   Another great day You know its here to stay
