Modern Day Ripoff lyrics - Iggy Pop

She twisted my arm

And I bought the farm

The law on her side

I wish I could hide

I'm guilty as sin

But I know how to win

I don't know how to die

I don't know how to cry

I'm squirming in pain

It's twisting my brain

I carry the ball

I carry it all

And when I am done

I'm still looking for fun

My nose in the grind

I'm so sorry I signed

This fortunate creature

Is my S&M teacher

It's a modern day ripoff

Modern day ripoff

Modern age ripoff

Modern age ripoff

Ripoff

Ripoff

Ripoff

I got shit in my bucket

I wish I could say "Fuck it"

Publicity target

Each day I enlarge it

A respectable person

Would not do so much cursin'

At least I'm still kickin'

Am I smart, or chicken?

I ran out of blow

A long time ago

I can't smoke a J

All my ducks fly away

This fortunate creature

Is my S&M teacher

Modern age ripoff

Modern age ripoff

Modern age ripoff

Ripoff

Ripoff

Ripoff

Modern age

Ripoff

Ripoff

Ripoff

Ripoff

Ripoff

Ripoff

Ripoff

Ah, ripoff

Ah

Ah, I'm dying here
