Johnny Quest Thinks We're Sellouts
by Iggy Pop
Here comes Johnny in again
With liquor and drugs
And a fast machine
He's gonna do another strip tease.
Hey man, where'd ya get that lotion?
I've been hurting since I'm up again
With something called love
Yeah, something called love.
Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens.
Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before.
I have a lust for life
'Cause I've a lust for life.
I'm worth a million in prizes
With my torture film
Drive a GTO
Wear a uniform
On a government loan.
I'm worth a million in prizes
Yea
Here comes Johnny in again
With liquor and drugs
And a fast machine
He's gonna do another strip tease.
Hey man, where'd ya get that lotion?
I've been hurting since I'm up again
With something called love
Yeah, something called love.
Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens.
Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before.
I have a lust for life
'Cause I've a lust for life.
I'm worth a million in prizes
With my torture film
Drive a GTO
Wear a uniform
On a government loan.
I'm worth a million in prizes
Yea
Last Men in My Life
What's life revealing
But base reality
Take it how you want to
Nothing comes for free
We go all round believing
In perfect harmony
Who tells us that's the right way?
Just open up and see
Refrain:
Like living on an island
I'm lost no land in sight
Like living on an island
I'm drifting without end
Somehow believe in this dream of life
Like living on an island
Never ending questions
A trip through darkened space
Sometimes getting nearer
To question asked with grace
But in the end it's all believing
In whichever way you will
The answer or the mystery
Once black is now too white
Refrain (2x)
Like living on an island
I'm lost no land in sight
Like living on an island
I'm drifting without end
