Henry Rollins - Icon lyrics

All eyes turned up to the hero

Charismatic icon animal man

Lyrical visionary caught in the spotlight

The more you makethe more you get it rightright?

Nothing can stop you

No one can bring you down

Don't give a thought to tomorrow

You're the man right now

It doesn't matter what you say

Because they always find some meaning in it anyway

Make them feel like they're part of some big event

They'll be too busy cheering to wonder where your talent went

They really need you

They've got to have you

You're the only one who understands

Slender messiahGod with a song

Turned strung out wreck who stuck around too long

Tragic hero coming down hard

The joke's on youyou got played like a deck of cards

Paying the price of fame

Under the weight of the flames

Feel the backlash

Watch the tables turn

Now you need them

Feel the fire burn

All eyes turned up to the hero

Strung out self abusive circus freak

One thing that you might not know

There'll be another messiah right here next week
