lyrics

Having dinner with my old freak friends,
Hearing the news ‘bout wars, fearing attacking planes.
Incoming nuclear, my life is just the start,
I am the first man.
I’m a God, alone I will survive,
Fighting bombs and saving humankind
Locked up my house so well, no one could get inside,
I am the first man
Ooh, I am the first man
What was wrong?, I didn’t hear at all,
No bombs, no planes, no people screaming in flames,
I turned the TV on, it seemed to be a joke,
Won’t be the first man. No more.
Weak and down, that's how I started feeling
Shame on me! There is no crown
I can see my thoughts my plans all creeping
Alone I'll die to be a damn unknown
My dreams got lost, I won’t succeed no more,
A sealed bomb shelter is my home, sweet home.
Who will open the door?, I’m sure I’ll die alone,
Won’t be the first man. No more.
Weak and down, that's how I started feeling
Shame on me! There is no crown
I can see my thoughts my plans all creeping
Alone I'll die to be a damn unknown
