Verse Riff x4
[Verse 1]
This street has changed so much
A line of fortresses, look but don t touch
I d like to call on my neighbours one day
But their Doberman won t look the other way
[Chorus]
There s one thing I d like to know
Where did the ordinary people go?
[Verse 2]
In my street I don t know a soul
The walls and fences never have no holes
If I could only be your Peeping Tom
You could complain about my bonfire burning strong
[Chorus]
There s one thing I d like to know
Where did the ordinary people go?
Nod my head and say hello
Where did the ordinary people go?
Verse Riff x2
[Bridge]
Money changes everyone
Or so it seems
There s no community spirit anywhere
You may say I m green
[Verse 3]
In my street we go by car
The tinted windows never show who you are
If I could see you, I d complain about the noise
I glance across the fence we both might enjoy
[Chorus]
There s one thing I d like to know
Where did the ordinary people go?
Nod my head and say hello
Where did the ordinary people go?
Where did they go? The ordinary people
Those ordinary people? The ordinary people
Where did they go? The ordinary people
