Shot Down in the Night |
Numbers called as they’re waiting in a line |
Camouflaged like a jungle snake |
Acting tough, just enough |
'Til they start to break |
Then they’re off with a rush of adrenalin |
Holding on to a world unseen |
The only sound is the pumping of the great machine |
The secret’s only for a few |
Superpower looks down on you |
Someone’s watching every move |
You can break the lock and turn on the light? |
You know your danger feelings are right |
Try to run or put up a fight |
You’ll be shot down in the night |
Shot down like an animal |
See them run like rats from the factory |
Push them out to the twilight zone |
Let them feed on their needs |
'Til they’re overthrown |
Take them up to a place in the gallery |
Show them God with an angel face |
Curtain call for the fall |
Of the Human race |
Play it straight and it seems like a mystery |
Tell the truth and it sounds like lies |
Looking down at the ground |
With your angry eyes |
Play the game and you’ll see there’s a difference |
Join the ranks and you’ll get your kicks |
See the world, and the girls, and the dirty tricks |
