Shoot ‘Em Up, Shoot ‘Em Down – Albert Hammond

Shoot ’em up, shoot ’em down, ooh-ooh

I was close to going under
When it all came down so fast
That I never stopped to wonder
Just how long success would last

Time leans heavy on your shoulder
When the world is at your feet
They grew up as I grew older
And life was never quite as sweet

Shoot ’em up, shoot ’em down, ooh-ooh
With my back against the wall
You were always there to catch me when I’d fall

Now I do the show twice nightly
A little lower down the bill
But the folks still seem to like me
I only hope they always will

Shoot ’em up, shoot ’em down, ooh-ooh
Sometimes I feel so small
Don’t you know I’m only human, aren’t we all?
