"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'm 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 rip off, modern day rip off

[Chorus:]
Modern age rip off
Modern age rip off
Rip off, rip off, rip off

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 cursing
At least I'm still kicking
Am I smart or chicken?
I ran out of blow a long time ago
I can't smoke a J or my guts fly away
This fortunate creature is my S&M teacher
Modern age rip off, modern age rip off

[Chorus:]
Modern age rip off
Rip off, rip off, rip off
Modern age -

[Guitar solo]

[Breakdown:]
Rip off, rip off, rip off
R-R-R-Rip off, r-r-r-r-r-r-rip off, r-r-rip off, (Ah, tah, tah, tah, tah)
Rip off (Ohh), rip off (Ahh)
(Tah, tah, tah, tah, tah, tah, tah, tah, tah, tah, tah, ohh)

[Outro:]
Oh-ah, I'm dying here
