[Verse 1]
You and I were two old and tortured souls
Repaired by a love of broken things
In a life, just some bodies growing old
No fear of the end, of anything

[Chorus]
We're just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues, eventually

[Verse 2]
We got by, though we never needed much
A sliver of hope, no diamond rings
We got high, it was heaven it was hell
Flying over them, with broken wings

[Chorus]
We're just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues, eventually
Just two ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues, eventually

[Bridge]
Our bones forever in stone
Monuments of life
To dust, as everything must
We fade away in time, oh

[Chorus]
We're just ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues, eventually
Just two ordinary people, you and me
Time will turn us into statues, eventually

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in 1995 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Originally a solo project by him to overcome the grief of Kurt Cobain’s death, Grohl attracted label interest with his inaugural demo tape.

According to Dave Grohl, the band is named after the UFOs that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II.

I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books! So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?
