Luke Siedle - I don't want to be a Martyr lyrics

rate me

We were polishing our school shoes

And listening to the radio

And wondering where time would go

And if it would take us along

And thinking of assassinating

Presidents or movie stars

Go high or low, don't go at all

They'll make it worth your while to fall

But you and I just traveling

On some road to down below

They tell me that the only way

To get to heaven is through hell

So why don't we make a stop

At the petrol station for some coffee

Muse about the time when we were young

And when we thought we knew it all

I don't want to be a martyr for your cause

We were breaking into houses

And stealing television sets

And lying in hospital beds

Regretting all those cigarettes

don't tell me how to live my life

You know I'm just gonna wind up dead

Look up there at the UFO's

They're coming down to save us

From the boredom of the planet earth

The strip clubs and the Sunday Service

Flush it all down the drain

it's not worth saving anyway

So why don't we go outside

The music in here is too loud

We'll talk and share a bottle

And maybe we'll start falling for...

I don't want to be a martyr for your cause

Let's just go, to where I don't know

There must be a place where we

Can laugh and cry and start a fight

Come on let's go, let's leave behind that load

There must be a place where we can feel

Like we're alive

We were blowing off our dates

To save the world from domination

But if we could all be superman

Then World War 3 is a competition

If only we could outrun

All the gunslingers and politicians

Rob a bank, and make a break

And drive our getaway car

Until memories all catch up with us

Tie us down, and wait for backup

If you could take my handcuffs off

Then I would wash away your makeup

Why don't we plead guilty to our dreams

And our convictions

If there's anything worth living for

it's not to be a victim anymore

I don't want to be a martyr for your cause
