Dirty Laundry

Don Henley

Dirty Laundry

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something
Something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry

Well, I could've been an actor
But I wound up here
I just have to look good
I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around

We got the bubbleheaded bleach-blonde
Comes on at 5
She can tell you about the plane crash
With a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know the boys in the newsroom
Got a running bet
Get the widow on the set
We need dirty laundry

You don't really need to find out
What's going on
You don't really want to know just
How far it's gone
Just leave well enough alone
Keep your dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff
Kick 'em all around

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff
Kick 'em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers
In everybody's pie
Love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo
We can dance and sing
When it's said and done
We haven't told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down

Eu faço a minha vida fora do noticiário da noite
Apenas me dê algo, algo que eu possa usar
As pessoas adoram quando você perde, eles adoram roupa suja

Bem, eu poderia ter sido um ator, mas acabei aqui
Eu só tenho que ter uma boa aparência, não tenho que ser claro
Venha e sussurre no meu ouvido, nos dê roupa suja

Chute-os quando eles estiverem para cima
Chute-os quando eles estiverem para baixo
Chute-os quando eles estiverem para cima
Chute-os quando eles estiverem para baixo

Chute-os quando eles estiverem para cima
Chute-os quando eles estiverem pra baixo
Chute-os quando eles estiverem para cima
Chute-os por toda parte

Pegamos a loira descolorida, chega às 5
Ela pode falar sobre a queda do avião com um brilho nos olhos
É interessante quando as pessoas morrem, nos dê roupa suja

Podemos filmar a operação? É o chefe morto, ainda?
Você sabe que os meninos da redação têm uma aposta corrente
Coloque a viúva no set, precisamos de roupa suja

Você realmente não precisa descobrir o que está acontecendo
Você realmente não quer saber o quão longe ela se foi
Apenas deixe tudo em paz, mantenha sua roupa suja

Chute-os quando eles estiverem para cima
Chute-os quando eles estiverem para baixo
Chute-os quando eles estiverem para cima
Chute-os quando eles estiverem para baixo

Pequenos segredos sujos, pequenas mentiras sujas
Temos nossos dedinhos sujos na torta de todo mundo
Adoramos reduzir seu tamanho, adoramos roupa suja

Podemos fazer a insinuação, podemos dançar e cantar
Quando estiver dito e feito, não dissemos nada a você
Todos nós sabemos que a porcaria é rei, dê-nos roupa suja
