Holier Than Thou Lyrics

You put your life in someone else's hands

Handing over the responsibility

Because he has greater plans, doesn't he?



Now, is that what you call inner strength?

Because it seems to me

It's another excuse to make them happy



So, don't be, don't be a martyr to yourself

Don't be a martyr to yourself

I saw you staring at the world that way

But i've got to say, be yourself

And you'll be saved.



Life lessons in a book

That you've learnt before you've experienced youth

And it supports you to your wedding day

Oh, veil of ignorance you look so pure

But tell me, really, what's that for?



Don't be, don't be a martyr to yourself

Don't be a martyr to yourself

I saw you staring at the world that way

But i've got to say, be yourself

And you'll be saved, you'll be saved

Be your own saviour now, Holier than thou.



And I know we're all searching for truth in this world

And I know we get so far, but it makes no sense at all

But maybe the meaning is to have no meaning

And to stop speculating

And just... let... go



Don't be, don't be a martyr to yourself

Don't be a martyr to yourself

I saw you staring at the world that way

But i've got to say, be yourself

And you'll be saved, you'll be saved



Be your own saviour now, Holier than thou.
