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 |
|
