Cover art for Down in the Park (Gary Numan cover) lyrics by Foo Fighters

I think the line is: "I was in a car crash, It wasn't the war but I've never been quite the same."

This is one of my favorite songs ever by the Foo, if I remember correctly it was a B-Side on the Monkeywrench single way back in 97. Yes it is a cover, but much better.
