Music and lyrics by Iggy Pop and David Bowie.
Thanks to Toby Germano for bringing this song to my attention, and thanks to the bitching RobotMonster for the lyrics (and Dan Gallo for the corrections).
Say Ta Eisenhower saw the thing oh oh He said this is sickening oh I swear I saw the very thing oh 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 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 Oh I wanna be a criminal I want to be a criminal Play it safe well it's that real thing inside a criminal mind What do we have in common? Play it safe that keeps me goin' all the time What do we have in common? Play it safe that very very thing I find so sublime I want to be a criminal Play it safe and I wanna know I wanna know I want to be a criminal Play it safe and I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know What do we have in common? Play it safe rockin' and reelin' like Al Capone What do we have in common? (slippin' and slidin' like Joey Gallo) and I wanna know I wanna be a criminal (movin' and groovin' with a Son of Sam) Play it safe I wanna be a criminal (splish splash I was Jim Jones) Play it safe
