I am a product of the television age
Zoom in on what's important / Get the point right away
A modern lack of patience / Is it a virtue?
Hardly ever read books / Devour 'zines and reviews
I'll say it again / We all believe / What we want to believe
Don't question authority -Question everything
Felt I had to confess / In Ginsberg's apartment
My literary background's mostly songs and cartoons
He said, "Oh, that's just fine" / I sort of felt relieved
But when I hurt my word bombs / How much should be believed
Say it again / We all believe / What we want to believe
Don't just question authority -Don't forget to question me
That's right / Take flight / Use In-sight
The pressure of being taken seriously
Breathing down on me, to keep up with my extremes
And keep on plantin' seeds / The joy of sabotage / So far so good
Now where do we go from here? It always feels weird
When people come up to me, and say I've changed their lives
I say, Now it's your turn
To start a fire FIRE FIRE
Start your own fire
Bring the world fire
