Icon Lyrics - Henry Rollins

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
