Lyrics

Thought I heard you screaming
And pulling out your hair
Furious and steaming
A stain upon your stairs

Don't you know dirt will find you and
Dirt reminds you that dirt will always be there
It's only dirt around you and dirt surrounds you
It follows you everywhere

Here's a dirty joke, man, filled with filth and smut
The heart of it, it sparkles the more it can corrupt

Don't you know
Dirt can't hurt you
I'm truly certain
Usually washes out

Don't you know rain
Will wash out the stain
And all of your pain
Will work itself out

Work it out

'Fraid you've lost your innocence to some-odd social scene
You're right on top but you've been replaced by a shiny new machine
And dirt keeps following you and you don't know what it means

You're a little too clean
A little too clean
A little too clean

One day dirt will bury you and you will understand
There is nothing much more than the ground on which you stand

Don't you know
Dirt will find you and
Dirt reminds you that
Dirt will always be there

It's only
Dirt around you and
Dirt surrounds you
It follows you everywhere

(Everywhere)

'Fraid you've lost your innocence to some-odd social scene
You're right on top, but you've been replaced by a shiny new machine
And dirt keeps following you and you don't know what it means

You're a little too clean
A little too clean
A little too clean

Well, my insect
I got a solid gold royalty
A little too? little too scared
