"One Man Down" lyrics

"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
