That marks the master
That marks the master
That's what I said today.
My little boy asked why
the master sat and cried.

But that marks the master
that marks the master.

You could see him sitting there
crying while we all stared.
You could see him staring there
With the knife carving away.

But, that marks the master
that marks the master.

That is why he cries
cries as he carves it away.
That is why he cries
That is why we stay and pay.

That marks the master
That marks the master

That is how the master marks
and that is how the master is marked
and that marks the master
oh yes, it marks the marks the master.
That marks the master.
And so the master is marked.

But why, oh why?
Does the master need a mark?
But why? But why?
Does the master need a mark?

I think it's because he wants to engage in
Something with his tools.
Something really obscure and gross
Something with his tools.
and that's why he needs the mark.

But, that marks the master
That marks the master

There he goes again
marking up his skin.
That is how he gets his marks
and that is why we'll win.
