normal people
that you know they're doing well
And they'll be out there eating breakfast
at the Anilver Court Hotel
And they'll be off
and down the highway
in their this year's Chevrolet
And they're just three
hours north of Gubbord
On their weekend holiday little getaway
For the only normal people
The only normal people
that tell you everything's alright
They say the sun comes up each morning
And the stars come out at night
And they say,
Kellogg's still makes cornflakes
And that classic Coke is back
And you know Reagan's
in the White House
And his hair's a natural black
It's a natural fact
Says the only normal people
The only normal people
That drink their coffee
sweet with cream
That's as they gaze out
from their easy chair
They call it TV screens
And as they watch a world of problems
On their cable evening news
You know they wonder
why those people
Choose to live the way they do
Don't they want to do
Like the only normal people
The only normal people
Do ex actly as they should
You know they
never borrow money
and their credit's always good
You know they file
their honest tax return
a month before it's due
And wave to all those nice policemen
up on Grandview
Haven't you?
How'd it do to you?
They say they are the only normal people
The only normal people
who never see cocaine or smack
You know they don't smoke marijuana
and they're miles away from crack
And all those pills that
doctor give them help
a sinus headache some
You know they'll drink
because it's social
but they won't have more than one
I'm sorry I gotta run
Settle at home
Home to the normal people
They go to church on Sunday
With their happy healthy son
Who's going to run
their family business
Just as they themselves have done
And he will live to own a golf cart
And a backyard swimming pool
And he won't never sleep with boys
So I think of dropping out of school,
it wasn't set to go
With us all, only normal people
Yeah, the only normal people
don't know anything about
Your world of sleepless
nights and pressures,
and they never once freak out
You know they run their lives on course,
and they keep a steady even keel
They hear you talk about frustration
But they don't know how it feels
No, it isn't real
For those uh -uh -uh -huh
-hum normal people
They eat their three square
meals a day
And they do their exercise and diet
And always look before they leap
And they keep their
seatbelts buckled tight
And so they don't get into accidents
And they'll wind up on their backs
They also don't get AIDS or cancer
And they don't have heart attacks
Can't you just relax?
Like the only normal people
I'll bet they're down at J .C. Penney's
For that riding lawn mower
Now, you know that one
that takes attachments
Like that tin blade garden plow
I'll bet you'll pass
them down this morning
as you race to beat the bell
They are the only normal people
They're the ones you don't know well,
that you don't know well
They're the only normal people
That you don't know well
They're the holy,
holy normal people
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that you don't know well
They're the holy,
holy normal people
You
