lyrics

I walk these supermarket aisles I,
I buy things to make them smile I,
I wonder if they even know what I do for them

My days are all the same,
Outlook is always grey,
I miss the colour of my youth, the truth

I’m just an average man,
Get out while I still can
Im just an average man,
Get out while I still can

I’ve worked my final shift,
Goodbye to wife and kids,
I wonder if they even care,
For father dear

No more of this constraint,
No more of want and wait,
I’ll strike the canvas with red paint
You’ll wait and see.

I’m just an average man,
Get out while I still can
I’m just an average man,
Get out while I still can

Slip this gun between the sheets,
Take a final freedom leap,
Soon this dull light will fade
And leave us in the shade,

Fire lightning from my hand
Leave this dull and soulless land
I’ll take you ‘cause I can,
I will not be an average man
