The Mountain Goats — Hail St. Sebastian

[Verse 1] It gets harder to keep trying to hold on Watch our hopes take wing Wave at them when they're gone Plunge like suicides from rooftops Break our ankles when we land And bless the arrows That strike us where we stand [Chorus] If it doesn't crush me It's alright If it doesn't break me It's alright All the petty demons trying to break me in two I was born stronger than any of you It's alright It's alright It's alright [Verse 2] It gets complicated When they come in for their counterattack Everybody hates a victim Who won't stop fighting back Sprayed blood in their faces Play for keeps And bless the brave assassins Who strike us while we sleep [Chorus] If it doesn't crush me It's alright If it doesn't break me It's alright All the petty demons trying to break me in two I was born stronger than any of you It's alright It's alright It's alright
