Bilingual
Chicago wind blows my raincoat collar back
As I walked down the street with a brown paper sack
Which I carried French fries and grilled cheese
To set up a banquet in my apartment if you please
Fumbled in my pocket for the front door key
Checked my box to see if there's any mail for me
I go in, I switch on the light and try to sit down and relax
But the spring in the couch, mmm
Keeps sticking me in the back
Just an ordinary day
Just the ordinary way of being ordinary
ย
Stare at the bare light bulb that hang in overhead
I think back about what the Mona-loose poker said
About all the good poor people who can't get work
And more and more of our fine young men
Are laying in the jungle dirt
Just an ordinary day
Just the ordinary way of being ordinary
ย
I turn on the TV, get disgusted, and turn it off
I heard some guy made 20,000 just for playing golf
Maybe sooner, I'll save enough to fix up my place
But for now, I'll just worry about
Tomorrow, 'cause I'll face, mm
Just an ordinary day
Just the ordinary way of being ordinary
Mmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
Just an ordinary day
Just the ordinary way of being
