[verse 1]
Here there is no future, here there is no time
Here you're moving backwards with your fingers on rewind
A place where there is money, a place where there is greed
To bring us all together as a happy family
But I don't think that I am ready
To live out my own life
And I don't think I know the balance, between what is wrong a right

[chorus]
Here we are, this ordinary life
We've come this far, but nothing turned out right
We stand, we march, we all walk the same line
We are the army of a nation, the army of a nation
American vacation, we are the army of a nation

[verse 2]
How can you see the difference
When everyone's the same
And everything you know is just the price you choose to pay
And if you wanna go there, I hope you wanna stay
Cause once they let you in you find that there is no escape
I think I see the difference
That everyone's the same
The only alteration, only with another name
But I don't think that I'm ready to live out my own life
But I don't think I know the balance, between what is wrong a right

[chorus]

[breakdown]
This ordinary life, this ordinary life, this ordinary life
This ordinary life
This ordinary life, this ordinary life, this ordinary life
And here we are, this ordinary life

[chorus 2]
We've come this far, but nothing turned out right
We stand, we march, we all walk the same line
We are the army of a nation, the army of a nation
American vacation, we are the army of a nation
