We are ordinary people leading ordinary lives

We use all so simple ways to get simple happiness

We have ordinary problems and ordinary fears

We go take care of our business 

Life goes on, and nothing changes



We don't understand much about those big shot politicians

Except for who's got most of them firecrackers to blow up in our faces

Well, I'd bet my shirt that way back there in the U.S.S.R.

People think like you and me 

Hoping life goes on, and nothing changes



(CHORUS)

I say we (we) are (are)

Ordinary people

And our star bears no color, red or white



We (we) are (are)

Ordinary people

No matter what we stand for, 

All in all, we're all the same

And it don't matter



In the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R.



Well, I wonder what the Soviet Rambo looks like in their pictures

And I'm sure as hell he's just as sweet as ours

And there's got to be some Russian Sting

Who sings about us people

And our strongest will to live in peace, so that

Life goes on, and nothing changes



(CHORUS)

I say we (we) are (are)

Ordinary people

And our star bears no color, red or white



We (we) are (are)

Ordinary people

No matter where we come from

All in all……



We (we) are (are)

Ordinary people

And our star bears no color, red or white



We (we) are (are)

Ordinary people

No matter what we stand for 

All in all, we're all the same

And it don't matter



All right everybody, stand!

(The U.S. and then the Soviet national anthems play [not all the way])



(CHORUS)

I say we (we) are (are)

Ordinary people

And our star bears no color, red or white



We (we) are (are)

Ordinary people

No matter where we come from

All in all…..					



We (we) are (are)

Ordinary people

And our star bears no color, red or white



We (we) are (are)

Ordinary people

No matter what we stand for 

All in all, we're all the same

And it don't matter



In the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R.
