Cover art for Know Me lyrics by Toad the Wet Sprocket

The first part of the song is another song called Humble

"I love an object a singular thing Carried beside me and flaunted for me I know I'm not holy just partially good No time for my family or patience to brood I want to be a great man A hero, a martyr, immortal I'd stand Well I haven't the guts to touch lepers or queers Though I'm happy to waste away time with you here"
