Martyr - The Mr. T Experience

If you try to be martyr

It will only slow you down

And I’ll cry a little harder

As I wrap you in your shroud

But it’s never gonna happen

And it’s never gonna count

And there’s nothing we can do about it now

Once we had so many options

Now they narrow down to one

And it’s sad to see you watching

While the damage has begun

But if it’s not what you expected

I expected more from you

And I’m sorry, but there’s nothing we can do about it now

About it now

And I’m all overcome with apathy

Doesn’t have anything to do with me

If you think I should feel responsible

I dunno, anything is possible

Picture of you in my head, and I’m waiting

Here in my bed it’s an iron maiden

I heard what you said, but I can’t remember

Something about my neck

And at last you’ll be martyr

As you’re crying on the stairs

Soon you’ll be flashing your stigmata

And repackaging your prayers

And we’ll hang you in the parlor

And we’ll cut you into squares

And we’ll think of you when anybody swears

But there’s nothing we can do about it now

And there’s nothing we can do about it now

And there’s nothing we can do about it now

About it now

(Nothing we can do)
