By now everybody knows the text on the TextEdit icon is the "Here's to the crazy ones…" poem. But check out some other tiny text:



Can't see it?

It's the lyrics from "The Bitch of Living" from the musical Spring Awakening:

She said: "Just give it time, kid
I come to one and all"

She said: "Give me that hand, please
And the itch you can't control
Let me teach you how to handle
All the sadness in your soul
Oh, we'll work that silver magic
Then we'll aim it at the wall"
She said: "Love may make you blind kid-
But I wouldn't mind at all"

[All]
It's the bitch of living
(Bitch, just a bitch)
With nothing but your hand
(Just a bitch, yeah)
Just the bitch of living
As someone you can't stand

[Georg]
See, each night, it's like fantastic-
Tossing, turning,

• Can you read this
• I don't think so

Great musical!
