Iggy Pop - Main Street Eyes lyrics

Album: Brick By Brick (1990)

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 today
But I will get up & fight back, anyway
You & I are not huge mainstream stars
But unlike them, we are really what we´re

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 & his art
Collection.

We´re played for suckers all the time
Phony rock & roll
It is a crime
I do not wanna dip myself in trash
I do not wanna give myself for cash

We got main street eyes
Tryin´ to do what´ 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, & 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
