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 coulda 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 all around 

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who 
Comes on at five 
She can tell you 'bout 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
Eat your dirty laundry 

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
We 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!
