MANIC STREET PREACHERS LYRICS - Marlon J. D

"Marlon J. D."



He stood like a statue

As he was beaten across the face

With a horse whip

Where the wounds already exist

A well-oiled rifle

And never lonely, Marlon JD

If you want to come down, come down

Give him some dignity



So see, so see Marlon J. D.

So see, so see Marlon J. D.



Learn to live without clutter

To live without luxury

Sometimes I envy them

Goodnight yourself, Marlon JD

He did not defend himself

He didn't even raise his hand

I will not beg because

This is how I am



So see, so see Marlon J. D.

So see, so see Marlon J. D.



"Bare floors, plain white walls.

No window curtains, nothing but essentials.

With no luxuries, no ornamentation,

Utter simplicity.

But it's also clean,

It's clean as a rifle."



So see, so see Marlon J. D.

So see, so see Marlon J. D.



"And, and they're never lonely

And sometimes I envy them"
