Main Street Eyes Lyrics - Brick By Brick - Iggy Pop

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 are 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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' 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
