Biography:
1995-present
Brave Saint Saturn is an American rock band started as a side project by members of Five Iron Frenzy, a now-defunct Christian ska band. Described by the band as "astro-rock," the music of Brave Saint Saturn (often abbreviated to BS2) is generally more serious than the lighthearted FIF. The group was originally an outlet for Five Iron's frontman, Reese Roper, to explore themes of loneliness and abandonment. BS2 also experimented with more melancholy song composition and ambient sounds

D5 D5
I was the future, in nineteen-ninety-five,
G5 A5
I watched the flashbulbs burst, Whenever I'd arrive.
D5 D5 G5
I'd tape my knuckles up, cinched and tight for the ring,
A5
just beneath the gloves, clenching white for the swing.
D D G
I was a sellout, before a sellout crowd,
A
I threw the fight in my head, before the fat lady bowed.
D D G
You want a tip-off, some good advice for the brawl?
A F#m
Just wear a mouth-guard, to keep your teeth when you fall.
G F#m A
And when you quit, make sure that you can wash your hands of it.
D5
Armed to the teeth,
G5
score one for treachery,
B5 A5
I Am A mercenary.
D5
There's more lies here,
G5
than we can all bury
B5 A5 D5
I Am A mercenary.
I've seen the headlines,
swarming thick with flies.
I've seen the Billboard Charts
I've heard them spitting lies.
Here's to your lame award,
your phony Nobel Prize.
Here's to the suckers lining up
to see us compromise.
Let's light a campfire,
We'll have a sing along,
I'll burn some bridges,
you'll bring the crappy songs.
And when you quit,
make sure that you can wash your hands of it.
Bridge:
D5 B5
There's a part of me I've compromised,
G5 A5
buried somewhere under ghosts of lies.
D5 B5
Make it quick, make it sick,
G5 A5
turn the crank and just play the greatest hits... sigh.
There's a part of me that I despise,
pull the curtain back and see what dies.
Emerald spires of the near profound,
let's burn this lousy city down.
There is a lead part during the bridge which plays this I think:
e|---------------------------------|
B|--------7-8-7-8-7-----7-8-7-8-7--|
G|----7-------------7--------------|
D|---------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|etc, etc
Bridge ends on a D5, lead ends on
e|------------|
B|------------|
G|-----7------|
D|------------|
A|------------|
E|------------|
and back to chorus.
the end.
