Dirt

Lyrics

It's been a long time since I've spoken to you
 Was it the right time?
 Your current troubles, and you know they'll get much worse
 I hope you know how much you enjoy them
 You're a pig of a person, if there's a justice in this world
 Hey, how about that?
 Your lack of conscience and your lack of morality
 Well, more and more people know all about it
 You remember that song by a dude named Bobby Fuller?
 It went like this
 I fought the law and the law won
 I fought the law and the law won
 We sat around the other night, me and the guys
 Trying to find the right word
 That would best fit and describe
 You people like it
 That no principle has touched, no principle's baptized
 How about that?
 They'd eat shit and say it tasted good
 If there was some money in it for 'em
 Hey, you remember that song about this guy from Texas
 Whose name was Bobby Fuller
 I'll sing it for you, it went like this
 I fought the law and the law won
 I fought the law and the law won
 You're just dirt
 You're just dirt
 The only word for you is dirt
 That's the only word that hurt
 You're just dirt
 That's all you're worth, cheap, cheap dirt
 You know they call it cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt
 You're just cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt
 You're just dirt, nothing but cheap uptown dirt (cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap uptown dirt)
 That's all you're worth, it's just cheap, cheap, uptown dirt (cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap uptown dirt)
 That's all you're worth, man (cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt)
 You're just dirt (cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap uptown dirt)
 Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt
 Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt
 Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt
