[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
