Man Down! - Queensrÿche

Hey, I’m okay

Another day, another nightmare begins

And the sound that I hear

Is the relentless fire 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 the 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

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!)
