Main Street Eyes

[Intro] This whole country is scared of failure My head keeps trying to sell me ambition But my heart, I want self-respect There's a conflict [Verse] 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 [Chorus] We got Main Street eyes Watching as the big boys roll by Under rotten television skies We got Main Street eyes [Bridge] I saw a kitten squashed in the street I read about a plastic surgeon and his art collection [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] We got Main Street eyes Trying to do what's decent with our lives Under funny television skies We got Main Street eyes [Verse 3] Walking 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 [Outro] Keep your Main Street eyes Keep your Main Street eyes Keep your Main Street eyes Eyes Eyes
