I Don't Want To Be A Martyr Lyrics - Singles - Luke Siedle

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 travelling 

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
