Iggy Pop - Play It Safe lyrics

Say, "Ta" ta, ta, ta

Eisenhower saw the thing
He said, "This is sickening"
I swear I saw the very thing
I saw it in America let's play safe
I never knew how how to play it safe
You told me how how to play it safe
A thousand times
I don't believe in fairies anymore
Today I saw a very, very thing
But that's another song
You're too simple-minded let's play it safe

What do we have in common?
It was a real thing play it safe
What do we have in common? Play it safe
I'll tell you something safe
I want to be a criminal play it safe
I want to be a criminal
I want to be a criminal play it safe

It's a real thing inside a criminal mind
That keeps me going all the time
That very very thing that I find so sublime
And oh I want to know i wanna know
I wanna know i wanna know
Rocking and reeling like Al Capone
Slipping and sliding like Joey Gallo
Moving and grooving with the Son of Sam
Splish splash, I was Tim Jones
