D
Numbers called as they're waiting in a line
 D
Camouflaged like a jungle snake
D                                                C
Acting tough, just enough, cause they start to break
  D
Then they're off with a rush of adrenaline
 D
Holding on to a world unseen
    D                                          C
The only sound is the pumping of the great machine

[Pre-Chorus]
  B                C
The secret's only for a few
 B                C
Superpower looks down on you
 B                 C
Someone's watching every move
          G                 F
You can break the lock and turn on the light
     G                 F
You know your danger, feelings are right
  G            F
Try to run or put up a fight, you'll be

[Chorus]
 A                      G
Shot down in the night
 A                      G
Shot down in the night
 A                      G
Shot down in the night
 A                 G
Shot down like an animal

[Verse 2]
 D
See them run like rats from the factory
 D
Push them out to the twilight zone
 D                                               C
Let them feed on their needs till they're overthrown
 D
Take them up to a place in the gallery
  D
Show them God with an angel's face
 D                                      C
Curtain call for the fall of the human race

[Verse 3]
  D
Play it straight and it seems like a mystery
 D
Tell the truth and it sounds like lies
 D                                         C
Looking down at the ground with your angry eyes
  D
Play the game and you'll see there's a difference
 D
Join the ranks and you'll get your kicks
 D                                           C
See the world and the girls, and the dirty tricks
