MAN DOWN

I heard there was a time before my time
When there was no crime
No slums or tower blocks
Everyone left their doors unlocked
Now I look around and all I see
Is a vision of brutality
Where justice is lost in the edit
Truth’s gone as fast as they can shred it
And oh, if you’re down on your luck
Oh no, they’ll never notice you
Everybody’s looking up
They’ll never notice you

Man down in Martinho, man down!
While all the rest of them were just standing around
Man down in Martinho, man down!
I was swallowed by traffic, no place to turn around

No one’s slowing down ‘cause that’s a lot to ask
When your throat stings and your stomach churns
And the roads are choked with cars
All making last-minute turns
You can ask - they never answer
Where would they start?
Which piece do you pick up first
When the whole world’s falling apart?
And oh no, in a concrete shanty town
Oh no, they’ll never pick you up
Everybody walks around
They’ll never pick you up

You can ask - they never answer
At least, not the truth, you think they do
But oh no, when you’re down on your luck
Oh no, they never notice you
They’re too busy cleaning up
They never notice you
