Story Behind The Song
A comment in Rolling Stone Magazine called Billy Joel the "iceberg lettuce of rock and roll." While he is not the greatest inovator, he wrote 14 albums of quality songs, so I wrote this song, using that comparison as a metaphor.

Lyrics
Bright painted ceramics, tossing it dynamically
Add something that's tart,
A tasty work of art
So, if it's only lettuce, Don't let them forget it's
Dressed with something hot,
The first course can hit the spot
I don't want to be Iceberg,
thousand island and instant Iced tea
I'm hoping you taste something exotic
I don't want to waste
I don't want to waste all these simple ingredients
Garnish it for color, some say that's another
Trick to fool the eye, Am I that kind of guy Bm
Appeal it to the senses, Immunity defenses
Three servings a day, Can the simple be risquÈ Chorus
If I had lived w/ some more pain, would it still taste the same
Is it bitter or too sweet Is it good enough to eat?
