Maroon Town - Average Man

Maroon Town formed in Brixton, London, by two childhood pals, fusing the spirituality, and cinematic sound of classic ska with contemporary street rap and a cheeky slice of Latin funk. http://www.maroontown.co.uk/about.html

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
Or hope it goes away Know what they say, skies are grey Another great day
You know its here to stay

Working til the day of working no more
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 cake?
Day after day, night after day For your pay just another day

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
Or hope it goes away Know 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
Or hope it goes away, Know o what they say, skies are grey
Another great day You know its here to stay
