Lyrics House of Lords

House of Lords

One Man Down

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

Yeah 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
