Henry Rollins - Icon lyrics

All eyes turned up to the hero Charismatic icon animal man Lyrical visionary caught in the spotlight The more you make, the more you get it right, right? 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 messiah, god with a song Turned strung out wreck who stuck around too long Tragic hero coming down hard The joke's on you, you 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
