Tony Hightower I Am The I In Iconoclast
Oh yes, I made this song up Yeah sure, I wrote these words This composition is unlike any that you've ever heard This is an original hit And I am an original star I know, cos saying it makes it true (right?) Or does my voice even carry that far? I wanna meet Natalie Merchant Fix up a date with me & Helen Hunt Get Winona Ryder on the phone I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want So my influences. . . well let's see Commercial Jingles & Gilligan, and Bullwinkle, and the Brady Bunch (of course) and I got really introspective when John Lennon got shot and Frank Zappa died & my parents got divorced Put my name on my hometown sign Put my name on a candy bar I belong on an island nation I'm not a star, man, I'm a constellation The T in Trouble stands for me I am the Bomb in Bombast I put the Evolution in Revolution And I am the I in Iconoclast I am the I in Iconoclast I am the I in Iconoclast [Johnny Rotten] No sleep, I've had no sleep I haven't slept, I drank too much, I haven't slept & I'm broke Any way that I could bum a cup of coffee off of you? Any way that I could steal me a smoke Hey, check out my cool biker boots! Dig the cool Brando t-shirt I tried to roll a pack of smokes in the sleeve But I stopped cos it made my arm hurt The T in Trouble stands for me I am the Bomb in Bombast I put the Evolution in Revolution And I am the I in Iconoclast I am the I in Iconoclast I am the I in Iconoclast [Zapatista] I wrote a great hit song (This is it) I bought a shiny blue guitar I learned a cool Velvet Underground tune I wrote the lyrics down somewhere I'm sure I wrote the lyrics down Somewhere (Big finish) OF COURSE I'M SENSITIVE MAN I AM AN ARTIST AND I HAVE THIS GIFT THAT I MUST SHARE AND I MUST GIVE AND GIVE AND GIVE AND GIVE AND GIVE AND GIVE UNTIL THERE'S NOTHING THERE For a wise man once said to me He said, "Tony, your life is short on this earth, And you must squeeze the great unwashed For all that they are worth." The T in Trouble stands for Tony I am the Bomb in Bombast I put the Evolution in Revolution And I am the I in Iconoclast I am the I in Iconoclast I am the I in Iconoclast
