The Stooges - Dirty Deal lyrics
[The Stooges - Dirty Deal lyrics]
Met a creep who gets things done
He told me I'm the number one
He knew I was innocent
I knew he was fucking bent
He embraced me like a friend
Showed me all his monuments
I was impressed, what the hell
Where I come from ain't much to tell
Stealing all the way I feel
As I signed the dirty deal
System's rigged to favor crooks
You don't find that in civic books
It's not cool to ask a man
To sign what he don't understand
Guys found other guys were right
Contract's starting, then the night
And when truth is violent
They'll hand you on a chain link fence
Once you're in there's no appeal
You signed the dirty deal
Beware, beware! Dirty, it's dirty
Once you're in there's no appeal
You signed the dirty deal
Beware, beware!
Listen! Let the lame old story down people
I was a dummy, not a clown, people
I'm getting hard to be around people
Warning, warning, beware, beware!
Welcome to the real world
Where trouble loves a pretty girl
Your compound interest drifted, scum
Bite your blood into it runs
Simple people praise the lord
Smarter people steal and hoard
If I was the president
I couldn't change their evil plans
Stealing all the way I feel
'Cause I signed the dirty deal
Dirty, it's dirty
It's dirty, it's dirty out there
The way I feel is I signed the dirty deal
Beware, beware dirty deal, dirty deal
He told me I'm the number one
He knew I was innocent
I knew he was fucking bent
He embraced me like a friend
Showed me all his monuments
I was impressed, what the hell
Where I come from ain't much to tell
Stealing all the way I feel
As I signed the dirty deal
System's rigged to favor crooks
You don't find that in civic books
It's not cool to ask a man
To sign what he don't understand
Guys found other guys were right
Contract's starting, then the night
And when truth is violent
They'll hand you on a chain link fence
Once you're in there's no appeal
You signed the dirty deal
Beware, beware! Dirty, it's dirty
Once you're in there's no appeal
You signed the dirty deal
Beware, beware!
Listen! Let the lame old story down people
I was a dummy, not a clown, people
I'm getting hard to be around people
Warning, warning, beware, beware!
Welcome to the real world
Where trouble loves a pretty girl
Your compound interest drifted, scum
Bite your blood into it runs
Simple people praise the lord
Smarter people steal and hoard
If I was the president
I couldn't change their evil plans
Stealing all the way I feel
'Cause I signed the dirty deal
Dirty, it's dirty
It's dirty, it's dirty out there
The way I feel is I signed the dirty deal
Beware, beware dirty deal, dirty deal
