Dirt (Live 2004)

[Verse 1]

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?

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 2]

Yeah, it's strange

That vicarious choir

Ever searching for a stage where they might sing higher

And they share

The generous soul

And nothing gets in the way of a story untold

[Chorus]

It's not fair

Thе only intention's to hurt

Always there

Thе strategies, rumors and dirt

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 3]

What right have they

To meddle with our lives

With private tears meant only for our eyes?

An action caught

Be worthy of legend

It's all very well but they need protection

[Chorus]

It's not fair

The only intention's to hurt

Always there

The strategies, rumors and dirt

It's not fair

The only intention's to hurt

Always there

The strategies, rumors and dirt

It's not fair

Dirt

Always there

Dirt

[Outro]

Thanks a lot

Yeah, thank you

You've been awful nice for comin' down here on a

You've been very kind

Rainy Sunday afternoon

We do appreciate it

Thank you
