Download it and see what you think! Or just simply take a look at the lyrics online . . . oh, hey, I'll copy them here! The lyrics somewhat cynically suggest a human preoccupation with "Schadenfreude." I think it's taught behavior, though, as people raised in a spiritually-inclined environment don't focus on such pablum and negativity. But perhaps that's not most people . . . I think the good ol' Unigh Stay Amurga is caught up in denial and loves background noise--the louder the better--so we don't have to face the pain of "reality" (Antonin Scalia, Dick Cheney, global warming, insert horrible reality here:-)<br /><br /><br />Dirty Landry,by Don Henley<br />--<br /><br />I make my living off the Evening News<br />Just give me somethin', somethin' I can use<br />People love it when you lose, they love dirty laundry<br /><br />Well, I could've been an actor but I wound up here<br />I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear<br />Come and whisper in my ear, give us dirty laundry<br /><br />Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down<br />Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down<br />Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down<br />Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em all around<br /><br />We got the bubble-headed bleached blonde who comes on at five<br />She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye<br />It's interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry<br /><br />Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet?<br />You know the boys in the newsroom got a runnin' bet<br />Get the widow on the set! We need dirty laundry<br /><br />You don't really need to find out what's goin' on<br />You don't really want to know just how far it's gone<br />Just leave well enough alone, eat your dirty laundry<br /><br />Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down [etc.]<br />Kick 'em when they're stiff, kick 'em all around<br />ey're stiff, kick 'em all around<br /><br />Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies<br />We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie<br />We love to cut you down to size, we love dirty laundry<br /><br />We can do "The Innuendo," we can dance and sing<br />When it's said and done we haven't told you a thing<br />We all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry<br /><br />Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down<br />Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down<br />Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down<br /><br />Read more: Don Henley - Dirty Laundry Lyrics | MetroLyrics<br /><br /><br />Don Quixotenoreply@blogger.com
