Dirty Little Secret

Greenwood Oklahoma, June of '21 Someone set the night on fire Lost a lot of people as the day begun Who lit the funeral pyre? On an elevator in the heart of town Someone make somebody scream Black and white, going up and down Who's gonna lose a dream? Dirty Little Secret Headlines printed in the daily news Awake the sleeping rage inside Disarm the people, keep 'em all confused Kill before they turn the tide Dirty Little Secrets going round Whispering from ear to ear Burning down the very heart of town Nobody shed a tear Dirty Little Secret, Dirty Little Secret Look up to the sky, your tears fall from the clouds But Greenwood don't you cry, just shout it right out loud It's such a Dirty Little Secret Getting so much darker every day It's hard to rise above it all "Can't we get along?" I heard somebody say Who's gonna make the call? "Cause all the walking wounded pay the price For living in the promised land Take care of your neighbor would be my advice 'cause nothing ever goes as planned It's such a Dirty Little Secret Dirty Little Secret, Dirty Little Secret Dirty Little Secret
