Main Street Eyes lyrics
Song information
Artist: Iggy Pop Album: Brick By Brick
Lyrics
This whole country is scared of failure My head keeps trying to sell me ambition But in my heart, I want self-respect There's a conflict
Boy, I feel so outgunned today But I'll get up and fight back, anyway You and I aare not huge mainstream stars But unlike them, we're really what we are
We got main street eyes Watchin' as the big boys roll by Under rotten television skies We got main street eyes
I saw a kitten squashed in the street I read about a plastic surgeon and his art collection
We are played for suckers all the time Phony rock and roll It's a crime I don't want to dip myself in trash I don't want to give myself for cash
We got main street eyes Tryin' to do what's decent with our lives Under funny television skies We got main street eyes
Walkin' around sometimes I see a tension under the surface People are just about ready to explode
So hold me, and trust me I love you, don't worry Keep your main street eyes Keep your main street eyes Keep your main street eyes Eyes Eyes
