  • 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" Writer/s: JAMES BRADFIELD, NICHOLAS JONES, RICHARD EDWARDS, SEAN MOORE
