I Know A Man Lyrics

I know a man, as old as my grandfather

And he has a son, younger than my sister

They live down the street from my house

They run

The station around the corner

His boy has plans, to grow and be a doctor

Outside in, downside up

The left is never right

Middle ground's been caving in

In between is where we fight

The family eats, the boy repeats

Stories of his day at school

The old man thinks

Time for home to be with you

A younger boy appears, beneath the neon signs

Shaken and scared, he aims the gun with both his hands

Give me the cash, and do it fast

The money is slow, bullets fly, the man goes down

Crumbles as he hits the ground

Outside in, downside up

The left is never right

Middle ground's been caving in

In between is where we fight

Brightest day still turns to night

Always looking for the light

I know a man, as old as my grandfather

And he has a son, younger than my sister
