Little Electric Chair
Iggy Pop · Skull Ring [2003]
but you did it again
The night started out
Fuckin around with your friends
Somebody screamed and things went bad
Now you're standing accused
And the prosecutor says you should be dead
And they're frying' up your hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin' up your hair
in that little electric chair
Fryin' up your hair
In that little electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
Easy street is nice in a lawless nation
The police put some flyers in circulation
Stuck one in my door with a scary mugshot
They're looking for some bad boys
Height, weight, age, race, tattoos too
And they're fryin' up your hair
in that little electric chair
They'll be fryin' up your hair
in that little electric chair
fryin' up your hair
in that little electric chair
They'll be fryin' up your hair
in the little electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
The people are quietly hustling for blood
they wanna live in peace
but they don't wanna budge
from their lazy ways and lazy nations
let em eat pigeon
and live in prison
And they'll be fryin' up your hair
in that little electric chair
they'll be fryin' up your hair
in that little electric chair
they'll be fryin' up your hair
in that little electric chair
they'll be fryin' up your hair
in that little electric chair
Little Electric Chair
Little Electric Chair stands as a compelling song in Iggy Pop's extensive discography, appearing on his 2003 album Skull Ring. During this period, the legendary frontman continued to refine his signature blend of punk energy and rock experimentation. The track captures the raw intensity and theatrical flair that have defined his career since the 1970s. While often overshadowed by his earlier classics, this recording showcases Pop's enduring ability to craft atmospheric, driving rock anthems. The song fits within a broader era where he explored darker, more introspective themes alongside his characteristic vocal power. It remains a testament to his prolific output and willingness to push stylistic boundaries throughout the early twenty-first century.
