Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ Queensryche - Man Down ------------------------------------------ Then you start to feel guilty for living your life. To get older when somebody else didn't. And a lot of their stories will never ever be told. Hey I'm okay Another day, another nightmare begins And the sound That I hear Is the relentless firing in my head Shifting gear in the driver's seat As the finger of God signals me And this concrete bloodline carries me Never thought I'd bring the war back home I'm a number; I'm a casualty of war For a cause I never had the chance Didn't understand the score They told me that I'd be okay Assume civilian life, live day to day But when I think about it my hands still shake And I know what I am Man Down! I'm in overdrive Barely alive As long as I keep moving, I'm all right Was that a muzzle flash From my past Or just my mind misfiring With one eye in mirror I see The Cavalry of God coming up on me Bumper to bumper, traveling fast Waving Satan over I'm a number; I'm a casualty of war For a cause I never had the chance Didn't understand the score They told me that I'd be okay Assume civilian life, live day to day But when I think about it my hands still shake And I know what I am Oh, I know what I am No! Shifting gear in the driver's seat As the finger of God signals me And this concrete bloodline carries me Never thought I'd bring the war back home I'm a number; I'm a casualty of war For a cause I never had the chance Didn't understand the score They told me that I'd be okay Assume civilian life, live day to day But when I think about it my hands still shake And I know what I am Man down! I'm a number; I'm a casualty of war For a cause I never had the chance Didn't understand the score They told me that I'd be okay Assume civilian life, live day to day But when I think about it my hands still shake And I know what I am Man down! I'm a casualty of war Man down
