Lyrics
Dead Man Walking
© Pacey/Quin 2006
I was put on this plane blind
Putting my life on the line,
Shooting for something I didn’t believe
Fighting for something I didn’t need
Jump up, shoot me
Go ahead, loot me
There’s nobody here I think you’ll find
I’ve already met the firing line
Dead Man Walking
Dodging bullets in the street
Dead Man Walking
Up and down this same beat
God save my soul
Rotting here in this hell of a hole
For a country that didn't care
Lifeless from the day they shipped me here
Dead Man Walking
Zombie on a track
Dead Man Walking
Don’t expect me back
