| You and I up against the world
|
| Your money’s on them
|
| Leaving me to fend for my own
|
| You just wait for the KO
|
| Plug me into that life support
|
| Singing me flat lines
|
| Hear it call
|
| The ring
|
| here I come
|
| Dead on arrival
|
| Well
|
| Heaven be waiting to take me out
|
| What happened to showing me some mercy
|
| Cause all that I am And all that I can be Is a man
|
| Not knowing what I am Up against
|
| Pull me out of this rut I’m in
|
| I’m digging six feet down
|
| I’m gonna make a mark if it means
|
| Feeding the earth from which I came
|
| Well, heaven be waiting to take me out
|
| What happened to showing me some mercy
|
| Cause all that I am And all that I can be Is a man
|
| Not knowing what I am Up against this town
|
| Feeling like
|
| This is our routine of life
|
| I feel that eye zeroing on me Knew it then
|
| Know it now
|
| Hasn’t changed
|
| It never will
|
| I’m just a man
|
| Don’t know who I am.
|
| You and I up against the world
|
| Down for the count
|
| Could it be that we’ve lost a nerve
|
| Or simply unable
|
| Well, heaven be waiting to take me out
|
| What happened to showing me some mercy
|
| Cause all that I am And all that I can be Is a man
|
| Not knowing what I am Up against this town
|
| Feeling like this is our routine of life.
|
| I feel that eye zeroing on me Knew it then
|
| Know it now
|
| Hasn’t changed
|
| It never will
|
| I’m just a man
|
| Don’t know who I am Up against |
