Make sure you listen to “Only our Rivers are Free” which is a followup tune to this version of “Ordinary Man” with a Brit slant. It’s accompanied by a slide show which focuses on the British oppression of Northern Ireland.

Rest assured much of our current financial strife was orchestrated and blessed by “The City of London” banking cabal along with Goldman Sachs, AIG and a host of shadowy banking entities that’s had it’s hand in controlling planet earth since the days of the British East India Company. A lot of dirt can be traced back to the British hierarchy even in our times. The common people may be our allies on the field of battle, but the crown and their well-connected Rothschild influenced bankers look upon the world simply their “cup of tea”, both to drink and piss away as they please.

I’m glad to hear you like Irish folk music as myself. I’d love to hear Joan Baez do justice to “Ordinary Man”, but couldn’t find any reference to her having performed the work.

What’s interesting is this version was written during the reign of Margaret Thatcher, the British PM during Reagan/H.W. Bush terms in office. / : |

Every time I see this posuer I’m reminded of the classic Triumph tune ‘Ordinary Man,’ circa 1981…

Look in the mirror tell me what do you see
Or can you lie to yourself like you’re lyin’ to me
Do you fall asleep real easy feelin’ justified and right
Or do you wake up feelin’ empty in the middle of the night
You want to think you’re different but you know you never can
You’re just another ordinary man

Hey politician, can’t believe a word you say
Almighty media, whose truth’d you sell today?
Watchdog of justice, who keeps their eye on you?
Con man, song in hand, who you singin’ to?
The more I get to see, the less I understand
I’m just another ordinary man

Ordinary man
Comes a time to take a stand

No rest for the wicked – they get it while they can
The preachers and the teachers and your local Congressman
Everybody plays the game they played since time began
Lawyers and accountant – your media man

Everybody’s talkin’ but nothin’s gettin’ said
You’re lookin’ for the truth you better look inside your head
I see the flash of lightnin’
I hear the thunder roll
A hungry knife, a slice of life
It cuts another soul

Power finds a way
To those who take a stand
Stand up ordinary man

Once I thought the truth was gonna set me free
But now I feel the chains of its responsibility
I will not play the puppet I will not play it safe
I’ll give myself away with a blind and simple faith
I’m just the same as you I just do the best I can
That’s the only answer…

For an ordinary man
