| Hawkwind | |
| Lyric Book | |
| 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 | |
| [chorus:] | |
| 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 | |
