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.
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
Keep your Main Street eyes
Keep your Main Street eyes
Eyes
Eyes
