Letra de Martyrs

[Verse 1]
Climb into a burning Cadillac to seal your suicidal pact
And get the monkey off your back
And maybe make some money
Take a roundhouse on the chin
Invite the Boston strangler in
Take a fall like Gunga Din
Martyrs can be funny
[Pre-Chorus]
Well am I the worst case you've found holding you down?
Gandhi and your mommy built a cross for you
Then the Dalai Lama showed you that hairdo
But you were smarter
Brand new martyr
[Chorus]
Brand new martyr, yeah - that's you
Brand new martyr, yeah - that's you
God's new fool, that's so cool
[Verse 2]
Throw your coat down in the rain
Take a bullet in the brain
Tell your friends you're not insane, but your nose is runny
Burn with Joan out on the stake
Walk across the coals you rake
Think of all the friends you make
Martyrs sure are funny
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I the best friend you've got when I'm not around?
Gandhi and your mommy built a cross for you
Then the Dalai Lama showed you that hairdo
But you were smarter, brand new martyr
[Chorus]
Brand new martyr, yeah - that's you
Brand new martyr, yeah - that's you
God's new fool, that's so cool
[Bridge]
You can beat yourself 'till you're black and blue
Maybe Elton John will sing for you
If this song is not an apt tribute to your star
Am I the worst case you've found holding you down?
[Chorus]
Brand new martyr, yeah - that's you
Brand new martyr, yeah - that's you
God's new fool, that's so cool
