Rollins Band 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?

oh nothing can stop you and no one can bring you down
don't give a thought to tomorrow 'cause you're the man right now

it doesn't matter what you say 'cause they always find
some meaning in it anyway, so you make them feel like
they're a part of some big event
they'll be too busy cheering to wonder where your talent went

oh they really need you, they've got to have you
you're the only one who understands slender messiah, god with a song, turned burned-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

you're paying the price of the fame
crushed under the weight of the flames X2 yeah (solo)

feel the backlash, watch the tables turn
now you need them, see that fire burn

all eyes turned up to the hero, worn out self-abusive circus freak
there's one thing that you might not know:
there'll be another messiah right here next week
