[Intro]
Say, "Ta"
Ta, ta, ta...

[Verse]
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 safe?
You told me how
How to play safe?
A thousand times
I don't believe in fairies
Any more
Today I saw a very, very thing
But that's another song
You're too simple minded
Let's play it safe

[Chorus][x3]
What do we have in common?
Play it safe
What do we have in common?
Play it safe
I want to be a criminal
Play it safe
I want to be a criminal
Play it safe

Iggy Pop

After his previous band, The Stooges collapsed, Iggy Pop (the stage name of James Newell Osterberg, Jr.) initially struggled to establish a solo career. Working with David Bowie in Berlin helped him produce The Idiot and Lust For Life, essential albums which made him a household name.
