lust for life
Pop (Iggy) Lyrics

Here comes Johnny Yen again With the liquor and drugs And a flesh machine He's gonna do another striptease
Johnny Yen is back again with his usual behavior of using drugs, drinking and making use of a stripper pole. He will perform another show.

Hey man, where'd you get that lotion? I've been hurting since I bought the gimmick About something called love Yeah, something called love Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens
The singer is curious about the lotion another person has been using. The singer is in pain since they bought into the sales pitch of something called love. The singer compares this to the act of hypnotizing chickens which is quite pointless.

Well, I'm just a modern guy Of course, I've had it in the ear before Been on a lust for life 'Cause of a lust for life
The singer identifies as a modern person and has heard these things before. The singer has been driven by their craving for excitement and a desire to fully experience life.

I'm worth a million in prizes With my torture film Drive a G.T.O. Wear a uniform All on a government loan
The artist is proud of their success indicated by their prize winnings and a film they made that was difficult to watch. The artist brags about owning a fancy car and being able to wear a uniform. All of this was made possible by a government loan.

I'm worth a million in prizes Yeah, I'm through with sleeping on the sidewalk No more beating my brains No more beating my brains With the liquor and drugs With the liquor and drugs
The artist reiterates the point that they are successful and no longer struggle to survive. They have given up trying to figure things out by using drugs and alcohol.

Well, I'm just a modern guy Of course, I've had it in my ear before 'Cause of a lust for life (lust for life) 'Cause of a lust for life (ooh) I've got a lust for life (ooh)
The singer repeats their earlier statement about being modern and having a strong desire to fully experience life, leading to their current state of excitement.

Got a lust for life (ooh) Oh, a lust for life (ooh) A lust for life (ooh) I got a lust for life (ooh) Got a lust for life
The singer once again affirms their craving for excitement and desire to fully experience life, leading to their current state of seeking stimulation in various ways.

Well, here comes Johnny Yen again With the liquor and drugs And a flesh machine I know he's gonna do another striptease
The artist repeats the opening lines of the song where Johnny Yen is back once again, using drugs, drinking and making use of a stripper pole. It is clear that he is going to perform another show.

Hey man, where'd ya get that lotion? Your skin starts itching once you buy the gimmick About something called love Oh, love, love, love Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens
The artist is curious about the lotion another person is using. The artist knows that after buying into the hype of something called love, it will eventually lead to heartbreak. The artist compares this to the act of hypnotizing chickens, which is to say - it is pointless.

Well, I'm just a modern guy Of course, I've had it in the ear before And I've a lust for life (lust for life) 'Cause I've a lust for life (lust for life) Got a lust for life Yeah, a lust for life I got a lust for life Oh, a lust for life I got a lust for life Yeah, a lust for life I got a lust for life A lust for life Lust for life Lust for life Lust for life
