^^ Yes those are the correct lyrics, although I think it's "our martyr" not "a martyr"....
This song hits me hard every time. It's obviously about how cruel children can be. With the example being this fictional(?) kid Jimmy Johnson that was in special-ed, but didn't belong there. The other kids picked on him anyway. Jimmy was smart enough to understand his situation. Smart enough to feel the sting of his peer's rejection, and it ends up killing him.
I was such a dick to so many kids. I feel so fucking bad now decades later. I feel like I played a part in ruining the childhood of so many kids that just had issues... I had such an easy ride, and used my comfort to torment the ones that already had it tougher than me... What a clueless prick... but I didn't know better... you can't know better at that age. You're lucky not to know better. It will never change, but I still have a lot of people to apologize to.
