You and I up against the world
Your money's on them
Leaving me to fend for my own
You just wait for the KO
Plug me into that life support
Singing me flat lines
Hear it call
The ring
Here I come
Dead on arrival
Well
Heaven be waiting to take me out
What happened to showing me some mercy
Cause all that I am
And all that I can be
Is a man
Not knowing what I am
Up against
Pull me out of this rut I'm in
I'm digging six feet down
I'm gonna make a mark if it means
Feeding the earth from which I came
Well, heaven be waiting to take me out
What happened to showing me some mercy
Cause all that I am
And all that I can be
Is a man
Not knowing what I am
Up against this town
Feeling like
This is our routine of life
I feel that eye zeroing on me
Knew it then
Know it now
Hasn't changed
It never will
I'm just a man
Don't know who I am
You and I up against the world
Down for the count
Could it be that we've lost a nerve
Or simply unable
Well, heaven be waiting to take me out
What happened to showing me some mercy
Cause all that I am
And all that I can be
Is a man
Not knowing what I am
Up against this town
Feeling like this is our routine of life
I feel that eye zeroing on me
Knew it then
Know it now
Hasn't changed
It never will
I'm just a man
Don't know who I am
Up against
