Never wanted to start a war
Never stood up for a cause
Never felt like breaking down a door
To get where I want

There are those that preach to me
The kind that won't let me be
Trying to light a fire in me
But their words go over my head

We can be martyrs
If we kill ourselves today
Here is a cause for which we'll die
We're not afraid
We will be martyrs
If we don't get our way today

I never wanted to take command
Never been a firebrand
I never felt the need to make a stand
For my own views
Never wanted to move or shake
Don't need to take, take, take
I live for my own sake
The world could pass me by
And I'll smile and wave goodbye

We can be martyrs
If we kill ourselves today
This is a cause for which we'll die
We're not afraid
We will be martyrs
If we don't have our say
Get out of our way

We are martyrs
This is martyrdom

We are martyrs
This is martyrdom

We can be martyrs
If we kill ourselves today
Here is a cause for which we'll die
We're not afraid
We will be martyrs
If we don't get our way today
Get out of our way"
