Up Against

You and I up against the world Your money's on them Leaving me to fend for my own, You just wait for the kill Plug me into that life support Singing me flat lines Hey recovery, here I come, Dead on arrival Will Heaven be waiting to take me up? Will Heaven be showing me some mercy? 'Cause all that I am, 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 Will Heaven be waiting to take me up? Will Heaven be showing me some mercy? 'Cause all that I am, all that I can be Is a man not knowing what I am Up against this time Feeling like this is our routine of life I feel the eyes zeroing on me Oh, hear it then know it now, hasn't changed and 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 our nerve, or simply unable? Will Heaven be waiting to take me up? Will Heaven be showing me some mercy? 'Cause all that I am, all that I can be Is a man not knowing what I am Up against this time Feeling like this is our routine of life I feel the eyes zeroing on me Oh, hear it then know it now, hasn't changed and never will. I'm just a man, don't know who I am Up against
