Lyrics for Dirt

Yeah it's true But only in part Actions best forgotten of a desperate heart And it hurts This salt in the wound But what compels them to spend their time bothering you Don't let them touch you baby Don't let them make you cry Don't you waste your time Trying to find the reason why They will do what they must do Yeah it's strange That vicarious choir Ever searching for a stage where they might sing higher And they share The generous souls But nothing gets in the way of a story untold It's not fair The only intention's to hurt Always there The strategy's rumors and dirt Don't let them touch you baby Don't let them make you cry Don't you waste your time Trying to find the reason why They will do what they must do ... ... ... Hey hey ... half day to meddle with our lives With private tears meant only for their eyes Reactions haunt, be worthy of legend Security maybe ... charms It's not fair The only intention's to hurt Always there The strategy's rumors and dirt It's not fair The only intention's to hurt Always there The strategy's rumors and dirt It's not fair Dirt Always there Dirt
