No Victim or Martyr

Never unfortunate  
Circumstance goes her way  
She gotta bounce off hate
to keep on loving through the day  
But then came a land mine
As if that wasn't enough  
then came the black hounds  
 
And then the caroling mob sang this to me;
"Try the little woman as a witch
Don't you wait up for a verdict  
Get the fags bundled for the break of dawn
This one is as guilty as it gets"
 
She says to you and to me
I'm no martyr victim here
Don't wait up for my verdict  
I plan to get up and flee
Yeah, I'm getting outta here
 
A blessing is her safety net
It's as safe as circumstances get
When dodging flying stones  
While on the run from dogs
And fortune fills her parasol  
a whirlwind rescue breeze
Somehow it seems she escapes them all
Bouncing off their karma freeze
Because no loveless take the heat
Even black hounds must retreat
