The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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
