Manic Street Preachers - 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 say, so say Marlon J.D.
So say, so say 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 say, so say Marlon J.D.
So say, so say Marlon J.D.

"And, and they're never lonely
And sometimes I envy them"
