"Saints and Martyrs" - I hear another song coming on!

Read the comments that follow the article, interesting to see how divided both the artist and patron communities are on this issue.


First draft (not really pertaining to the Pomplamoose folks):

SAINTS AND MARTYRS

Verse 1
To the world you’re good-two-shoes
Doing things no one can refute
Not worried about winning – you never lose
And all your girlfriends are just-too-cute

Verse2
People rave about your charity work
They gush and kiss your hand
But behind your facade the truth lurks
Maybe things aren’t quite-so-grand

Pre-chorus
So you’ll sacrifice yourself
Let things go up in flame
Hoping that eternity
Will remember your name

Chorus
We’re all trying to be good – some more than others
We’re all trying to behave – like sisters and brothers
Some people, though, want to be n the spotlight – that’s just for starters
They want all the world to know that they’re saints and martyrs

Verse 3
You made it big, your name’s in lights
Got to tell everyone of what you went through
Had to believe in yourself, put up a fight
Had to give up everything that meant something to you

Prechorus
Well, you sacrificed yourself
Life went up in flame
Maybe eternity
Won’t forget your name

Chorus
We’re all trying to be good – some more than others
We’re all trying to behave – like sisters and brothers
Some people, though, want to be n the spotlight – that’s just for starters
They want all the world to know that they’re saints and martyrs
