Matthew Good - Folk Singer lyrics

Caught the last train to martyrdom around 2 A.M. Nothing really left to say I knew it would turn out this way They're gonna hang me high Silhouetted against the sky Lost swinging in the wind, I pray That she will come and carry me away To somewhere safe Somewhere safe The kid is broken They knocked him down They took him apart But they're not sure what they found Got the hands of a thief And the heart of a lion He's going down swinging 'Cause they knew they couldn't buy him You got me cornered but I don't care I'll take you all on, all on Going out fast and on my feet But don't count too many yet 'cause I ain't gone Gonna let them hear you scream One more time this simple dream For you will not be forgotten And this will, this will not be forgotten Caught the last train to martyrdom around 2 A.M. Nothing really left to say I knew it would work out this way You might walk with dominance But you don't control me I'd rather take myself Than let you bury me You can say it loud and if you mean it You can, you can say it twice Talking counter revolutions but maybe for once You could take some of your own advice These days are numbered since Nothing lasts for very long It doesn't matter what you believe in If you think that everyone else is wrong Stop and think about it What do you have to show For all the years you've sat around hoping That you would get the chance to know Whether someone thought you were worth something Well someone thought you were worth something But he doesn't anymore The King is broken They knocked him down They took him apart But they're not sure what they found Got the hands of a thief And the heart a lion, yeah And I'm going down swinging 'Cause they knew they couldn't buy him I am going down swinging 'Cause they knew they couldn't buy him Caught the last train to martyrdom around 2 A.M.
