One Man Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am a man in my twenty - second year
And i know that each day could be my last
I live each day with no sorrow or fear
I believe in no future or past
When i get tired and lonely
I just dream of my brothers who've gone
When i get tired and lonely
I just a soldier on
We are one man down
We are one man down
(we are just one man and we'll turn this thing around)
(we are just one man and we'll turn this thing around)
(one man down)
Life here in the jungle
Is peaceful and serene
If you like some napalm
With your coffee and your cream
And out here in the jungle
They play fast and loose
We get agent orange
In our morning orange juice
But it's ok
Yeah, it's alright
Because they say…
(we are, we are) just one man down
(we can, we can) turn thing around
Our fearless leader says we've got to
Hold our ground
Life here in the jungle
Is filled with savage grace
A ballet of destruction
Where you never see their face
But it's ok
Yeah, it's alright
Because they say…
(we are, we are) just one man down
(we can, we can) turn thing around
Our fearless leader says we've got to
Hold our ground
(c'mon boys - turn this thing around…)
But there's just one thing
And you know it's true
That one man down
Could one day be you
(we are, we are) just one man down
(we can, we can) turn thing around
Our fearless leader says we've got to
Hold our ground
Oh man - oh can't you see
Today that one man down
That one man down
That one man down is me
I am a man in my twenty - second year
And i know that each day could be my last
