Lyrics

Dirty Little Secret

Feeling kinda friendless,
The better off dead list is longer everyday
What’ll it come to when we’ve finally had enough?

Down where the hate thrives
Listen to the right lie on the radio
Do they really think they’re fooling anyone of us?

Looking for some sweetness
My dirty little secret rears it’s tragic head:
I still want every love who’se ever touched my skin

Pitiful and frantic
A cynical romantic – Oh the things we said
They’d all be laughing at the silly shape I’m in

Sky’s not Falling and the earth’s still turning
And the sun’s still burning in the sky where it should be
Though I’m not past caring, I have lost some bearing
And the world seems harsher than it needs to be.


Thinking’s out fashion
“Patriots” with passion crow from every wire
Now “Us or Them” sounds more and more like
“Yours or Mine”

Under some hypnosis
A national psychosis breaks across the land
You know I loved this country, once upon a time

Sky’s not Falling and the earth’s still turning
And the sun’s still burning in the sky where it should be
Though I’m not past caring, I have lost some bearing
And the world seems harsher than it needs to be.
