[verse 1] 
I would like to be a martyr 
Over time it's getting harder 
Who do I have to go and kill 
To get my face on a dollar bill. 

[chorus 1] 
Every single time I look 
Someone else has beat me to it 
Some poor bastard bites the dust 
I really don't know who to trust. 
But there's one thing I can't deny 
I'd rather it was me they fried 
Have a drink from an empty cup 
Light a match and burn me up. 

[verse 2] 
I'm exhausted, I'm committed, 
I'm outsmarted, I'm out witted. 
My head's filled with dynamite 
It's coming out of my ears at night. 

[chorus 2] 
I think I am being watched 
Electric eyes that never turn off. 
Radar beams insinuating 
Evil thoughts while I'm masturbating. 
And even my old trinitron, 
It's comin through when nothing's on. 
Have a drink from an empty cup, 
Light a match and burn me up. 

[instrumental]
