Feeling kinda glum today....thought of this tune.

_________________________________________________
Main Street Eyes
_________________________________________________

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

Iggy Pop
