He was unwise

Another soldier in the army of the blind

Another goddamn fool

Uprooted from the garden of his youth

Just like me

He was tired of being told that he was free

And just like you

He couldn't wait to reach the top to find the view

But it's a wicked fall

Gonna make you sorry you were born at all

When you lose your mind

Nobody's wondering why

'Cause just like me

The sun just burns you down until you sleep

And just like you

I can't wait to turn into something that's new

So you be as mad as you wanna be

As long as your feet are on the ground

'Cause when you finally learn to live in peace

Here comes the man to shoot you down

Here comes the man to shoot you down

Here comes the man...

He's gonna make you cry

He's gonna make you sorry that you ever tried to love at all

To live an honest life

'Cause just like me

You were tired of being told that you were free

And just like you

I can't wait to reach the top to see the view

And just like me

Time just burns you down until you sleep

And just like you

I can't wait to turn into something that's new

So you be as mad as you wanna be

As long as your feet on the ground

'Cause when you finally learn to live in peace

Here comes the man to shoot you down

Here comes the man to shoot you down

Here comes the man...
