One Man Down

One Man Down

There is a game called football

Where heroes stand up tall

But in this game, its hard to play

When you're one man down

A moments mispent passion

Sees a red card come a flashin

Eleven men, reduced to ten

And then you're one man down

As the players take position

The stiker knows his mission

The whistle blows, and we all know

We're now one man down

We got ten men movin' fast

But it's a herculean task

One player's free, inevitably

Because we're one man down

The pressures on, one mistake

They're moving forward on the break

An unplugged hole, an open goal

Damn it! one man down

Across the world, we hold our breath

A single kick from sudden death

A vicious strike, the goalie flys

Tips the ball towards the sky

Now physics and trajectory

Alone control our destiny

Thank God that small deflection.....

Has secured our ressurection

Well finally the whistle blows

Penalty shootout, dontcha know

We've got a chance, to advance

Although we're one man down

The strikers only mission:

Beat the goalies intuition

Around the ground, no breath of sound

Only god can know our fate

Now the hero's plain to see

As he seals our victory

Perfection in deflection

And we were one man down!
