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