Living online melting hours
Daily truth leaves hearts for tribes to devour
Tricky phishing nets cast into space
You and me were always born to race
Every day people come out and play
Ordinary people work away
See the people see them pay
Harder people harder day
Offer people another way
Common people common day
It’s not social when you’re not
Listen and learn forget-me-not
A book’s a book a face a face
Suckers and losers your app’s a disgrace
Every day people come out and play
Ordinary people work away
See the people see them pay
Harder people harder day
Offer people another way
Common people common day
Toss a coin with both sides rising
Boys and girls are realising
There’s war and peace sports and cheats
A coins is tossed and money’s paid
And chance is just a turn betrayed
Every day people come out and play
Ordinary people work away
See the people see them pay
Harder people harder day
Offer people another way
Come on people come out and play
Common people common day
Common people common day
Common people common day
Every day people common day
Common people common day
Every day people common day
Background
Everyday People is about civil society. It is a response to authoritarianism.
