Martyr lyrics

Song information

Artist: Rusted Root
Album: When I Woke

Lyrics

Hey mister can you help me sir I plead for your sympathy
Rains came pounding us down again
Your horizons they crawl up to my chin
I started to drown in your vision
I looked through your windows as they flew through the air
All I could find was a river in pieces

How long should we play the martyr? x2

Hey mister come down and see see your misery
Rains came pounding us down well again
Through your weakness I shed my skin
Open wide to my spirit
I looked through your windows as they flowed through the air
I was left swirling in your pool of aggression
How long should we play the martyr?

Various unspeakable chants

Hey mister can you help me sir I plead for your sympathy
Rains came pounding us down again
Your horizons they crawl up to my chin
I started to drown in your vision
I looked through your windows as they flew through the air
All I could find was a river in pieces
(C) 2002 island def jam music group
