Martyn Joseph (born July 15, 1960, in Penarth, Wales) is a Welsh singer-songwriter whose music primarily blends Celtic and folk, while his songwriting often focuses on social protest.
At first glance Martyn Joseph is (just) another gifted singer songwriter. First impressions are there to mislead of course: Joseph's ambition is broader than entertainment, deeper than commerce. Some musicians want to move your feet, some just want to move you: Martyn Joseph wants to move heaven and earth.

intro [Hm] [F#m/A] [G] x4
[Hm]Don't know what the [F#m/A]world is gonna [G]do [D/F#] Or if we can get [Em9]off the [Asus4]road that we're [A]on There's ]Hm]hate in my brothers [F#m/A]eye but as the [G]time goes by I get [A11]harder[A]
They say we [Hm]learn by our [F#m/A]mistakes and then we [G]carry on[D/F#] Sometimes I'm not [Em9]sure, sometimes I'm not [Asus4]sure[A] There's no [Hm]brakes on this [F#m/A]car as it [G]roles down the [D/F#]hill My muscles are [Em9]straining, my [A11]foot's through the floor[A]

Don't want to go to school anymore today Because history keeps on repeating herself She can't forgive she just licks all of her wounds And sore is the day, and sore is the night
When I was a boy when I was growing up Life was so simple then, life was so sweet Now that I'm older I'm wise as a fool I keep on breaking those golden, golden rules
[Hm]Did you ever touch the [F#m/A]loneliness of a br[G]oken man [Hm]Did you ever see A [F#m/A]starving child D[G]ie [Hm]Do we really do these things to one an[G]other Do you see [Em9]why, D[A11]olphins make [A]me... [Hm]cry [F#m/A] [G] x2
[Em7] [F#m7] [G] [A] [Hm9]
