THE ICONOCLAST SONG

He sings to her his ancient art form’s dead.
The dream he prays upon is long since dead.
The light he sees will shine on somebody else.
He shields his eyes. Denies the scars and the welts.

His friends perpetuate his hopeless dream.
Without he’d just fall apart at the seams.
He’s better off believing he’ll never fail.
The truth would wreck him and he’d wind up in jail.

Someone is winning now. He eats a sacred cow.
The law just don’t apply to iconoclasts.
The innocent are fools. Stop playing by the rules
The system’s worse, they say, then the problems they’re out to mend.

There’s someone born today who’s star will shine bright.
There is another who’ll just fail and fight.
Is it determination or determinism?
Is it environment or is it in the jysm?

Someone is winning now. He eats a sacred cow.
The law just don’t apply to iconoclasts.
The innocent are fools. Stop playing by the rules
The system’s worse, they say, then the problems they’re out to mend.

Someone winning now. He eats a sacred cow.
The law just don’t apply to iconoclasts.
The innocent are fools. Stop playing by the rules
The system’s worse, they say, then the problems they’re out to mend.
