"Downstairs" lyrics

"Downstairs"

You love to suffer love
Fall out and making up
You're just a victim of
The saviour and the cross

(Another man down)
You want profit
I'll send you a prophet
You want signs
I'll strike you blind
You're no match for the light in my pocket
I'll be cruel to your kind

Chocolate's all you've got
To take the place of love
Your hearts hard to touch
Tough love's all you've got

(Another man down)
You want profit
I'll send you a prophet
You want signs
I'll strike you blind
Lost the match with the black in the pocket
I'll be cruel to your kind

Oh, I know
It wasn't your fault my dear
You were raised in a cage
Yes I know
You were raised to big ideas
And now someone, someone has to pay

And you want me to make it alright
And you want life to be black and white
And you want saving from your own life
Yes, you want saving from your own life

Don't tell me I'm too plain
Don't tell me you're okay
Don't tell me life is pain
Don't tell me life is pain

(Another man down)
Bang Bang
One man down

(Another man down)
Bang Bang
One man down

(Another man down)
Bang Bang
One man down

(Another man down)
Bang Bang
One man down
