They look right just using my eye, I was just coming here to post them, there's a couple small differences I have from you, none of which are anything major...

The line you're missing however is :

"It was in bad taste, Immolent and gaudy"

Oh, the one other one I forgot, in the first verse, the 2nd half of it is :

"You talk at length how you're alone" instead of "You talk it like it, though you�re alone"

Actually scratch that, there are a bunch of differences between ours, so I'll just post mine and see what people think :

To find the strength to carry on, you put the marks into your body;

You talk at length how you’re alone, and bitch at all the famous parties;

Such a vision of pure loneliness! What an image you profess! Don’tcha turn and walk away, ‘cause, you’re getting me depressed.

In hopes you’d never be alone, you bore your cross around your body;

It was in bad taste, immolent and gaudy;

Boy, you, look familiar?

You’re a vision of the loneliness, add an image to the press; Ya turn and walk away, ‘cause you’re happily depressed; Inventing your own love loss, you invent your own success; I’m giving you a name boy, you’re poor Role Martyr-X;

You’re a vision of our loneliness, like the ones that predecessed; Return in other ways, when they’re pleasantly suppressed; Unlimited in lowliness, you’re a ringer for success; I hope you find your pain boy, our poor Role Martyr-X;

Get your gun, get it? Get your gun, get it! Get your gun, get it? Get your gun and get away from me! Go!

One takes one, get it? One makes one, Is it one hates one? Is it, one eats one? To make a way for me;

You are just like me, just get away from me, to make a way for me;

So were the visions of your loneliness, from an image on TV; Don’t turn and walk away, you’re depressed so happily; Inventing your own love lost, envisioning success; I hope you die of pain, our, poor Role Martyr-X;

In a visionarial loneliness, there’s a pattern that repeats; I really hate to say but, there’s a similarity; pontificating love’s lost, He bitches when he’s blessed; your living is in vain boy, our poor Role Martyr-X;

Since I am the most humble, I am the most humble, I am the most humble man in the world. I am the most humble, I am the most humble, I am the most humble man in the world.

Nice thanks Ab0ve, ill correct as i see fit/the parts i was unsure of XD.

What do you think this song is about? I have listened to it several times and I have no idea what they are talking about?

loneliness? and well depression is included i would think?

seems to me like its about someone who acts depressed just to attention and what they want. idk

I've spent a lot of time with this song. It's actually one of my favorites off of the album. I get the feeling that in this song J. is speaking about himself. Through reflection he has given himself the title of Poor Role Martyr-X.

OK, I was somewhat wrong. It is not entirely about self reflection (i.e., him singing to the side of himself that he hates). He's actually singing about a person he hates. However, he realizes that there's a little of that person in him.

From a live show - (J's intro to the song) "This is a little reminder that no matter how badly you hate somebody there's always something in you that's a little like them."
