Plain Lyrics

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.
