Joanie could have saved her life

If she'd just put on a dress

And said Jesus the only child

Jesus is an only child

Jesus is the only child of god

Why would a god send a woman to do what men had always done

Why would she do that?



Joseph could have saved his life

If he'd just taken the pardon

Said I was guilty but now I'm free

Said I was guilty but now I'm free

Said I was guilty but now I'm free

Who needs fair trials anyway when freedom is all that we wage

Who'd die for that



I want to be a martyr

I want to die for this song

I want to be a martyr

I want to die for this song



Oh ohhhh yeah



Aileen could have saved her life

If she'd just got a respectable job

And said I don't want to hook no more

I don't want to hook no more

I don't want to hook no more

The economy is looking fine

Plenty of good jobs you'll find

For a poor uneducated white trash woman with no experience



I want to be a martyr

I want to die for this song

I want to be a martyr

I want to die for this song



Oh ohhhh yeah
