Iggy Pop - Main Street Eyes Lyrics
This whole country is scared of failure.My head keeps trying to sell me ambition.But in my heart, I want self-respect.Theres a conflict.Boy, I feel so outgunned todayBut Ill get up and fight back, anywayYou and I aare not huge mainstream starsBut unlike them, were really what we areWe got main street eyesWatchin as the big boys roll byUnder rotten television skiesWe got main street eyesI saw a kitten squashed in the streetI read about a plastic surgeon and his art collection.We are played for suckers all the timePhony rock and rollIts a crimeI dont want to dip myself in trashI dont want to give myself for cashWe got main street eyesTryin to do whats decent with our livesUnder funny television skiesWe got main street eyesWalkin around sometimesI see a tension under the surfacePeople are just about ready to explode.So hold me, and trust meI love you, dont worry.Keep your main street eyesKeep your main street eyesKeep your main street eyesEyesEyes
