Martyr by The Mr. T Experience Lyrics

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)
