I saw a woman get run down, put in the ground, all for the sake of a photograph,
|
and I knew that I'd never trust the news again, cause they lied when they said they were her friends.
|
Cause most people stay true to their own plan and understand, that we're all cut from the same grain,
|
But some of us want to live our lives through other hands, and that I'll never understand.
|
|
Cause some are lame, and some deserve the fame, but like us, most are just plain, and plain is alright with me, plain is alright with me.
|
|
Sometimes you get caught in the rough spots, and you think about the life you live,
|
is quite different than the hero schemes and turbo dreams,
|
that used to fuel you when you when you were a kid.
|
But the pantry ain't bare, so don't despair or get scared,
|
be proud that you did what you could,
|
cause a hero just does what a human should, it just happens that the timing is good.
|
|
Cause some are lame, and some deserve the fame, but most are pretty much plain, and plain is alright with me, plain is alright with me.
|
|
I met a girl on an interesting part of the world, she let me rest, and helped me catch my breath,
|
She said that she'd been burned at a young age, but you never would have guessed,
|
Cause she shined like a bright star swimming through the mist in the wake of an early morn,
|
and I thought, "Well, here's a real hero,and it makes you glad that people like that are born.
|
|
I said, "I'm not lame, I'm just too tired to play the game, I guess I'm just a little plain.
|
And she said, "Well, you know I kind of feel the same, and, yes, you are a little plain...
|
But plain is alright with me.
|
Plain is alright with me.
|
|
So if you hit .400 or win a Grammy, congrats on a job well done,
|
and if you get invited to a dinner at the White House, I hope you have a lot of fun.
|
But before you take that plain road back to your plain house to sleep in your plain old bed,
|
Be sure to smile for Mr. Photograph, just don't let it go to your head.
|
|
Cause sometimes fame brings little more than pain, sometimes its best to just be plain,
|
and if you play the game, you might have to pay, by doing what the other people say,
|
Cause some are lame, and some deserve the fame, but like us, most are just plain, and plain is alright with me, plain is alright with me.
