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