Man Down

One day I heard someone said 
That we get what we deserve
And way down I go
I let my wheels roll wild
The time has come 
as we all must fall
Man down
I am hospitalized
Way down I go
I want to meet my father
But I am too late he is dead
And way down I go
I lost my strength 
Way down I go
I was knocked down
Coz now I can't crawl no more
Man down
I got what I deserve
And way down I go
For the furthest mile 
you dare to look me right in the eye
You ran me down till I fell
Ran me down till I can't crawl anymore
You took me out
Now some officer is calling for help
All I heard was man down and I blacked out
Way down I go…
