Lyrics for 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 J.D. If you want to count down, countdown 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 J.D. 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. 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. So see, so see Marlon J.D. So see, so see "And, and they're never lonely And sometimes I envy them"
