Lou Reed — Dirt

[Verse 1] It's been a long time since I've spoken to you Was it the right time? Your current troubles, and you know, they'll get much worse I hope you know how much I enjoyed them You're a pig of a person, there's a justice in this world Hey, how about that Your lack of conscience and your lack of morality Well, more and more people know all about it [Chorus] Do you remember that song by a dude named Bobby Fuller? It went like this: I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won [Verse 2] We sat around the other night, me and the guys Trying to find the right word That would best fit and describe You people like that That no principle has touched, no principle's baptized How about that? They'd eat shit and say it tasted good If there was some money in it for them [Chorus] Hey, you remember that song about this guy from Texas? His name was Bobby Fuller I'll sing it for you, it went like this: I fought the law and the law won I fought the law and the law won [Outro] You're just dirt You're just dirt The only word for you is dirt That's the only word that hurt, you're just dirt That's all you're worth - cheap, cheap dirt You know they call it cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt You're just cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt You're just dirt - nothing but - cheap uptown dirt That's all you're worth - It's just - cheap, cheap, uptown dirt That's all you're worth now (Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt) You're just dirt (Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap uptown dirt) (Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt) (Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt) (Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt)
