1	8	Playground Martyrs (Live - Occurrence Of Slope) You run to the gate but you'll be marked late it's for your own good it's for your own good You're likely to make the grandest mistakes you suffer alone in the skin and the bones Let's sharpen those new sets of arrows for the next generation of playground martyrs And joining the game of intolerable shame 'cause everyone shares innocence of their fathers School bell rings single file in trade you my unhappily ever after So bring out those things to hammer the wings of the next generation	Playground Martyrs (Live - Occurrence Of Slope)	Playground Martyrs (Live - Occurrence Of Slope) Performed live with onscreen performance of David.
