Greenwood Oklahoma, June of ¡¯21,
|
Someone set the night on fire.
|
Lost a lot of people as the day begun,
|
Who lit the funeral pyre?
|
|
On an elevator in the heart of town,
|
Someone make somebody scream.
|
Black and white, going up and down.
|
Who¡¯s gonna lose a dream?
|
|
Dirty Little Secret.
|
|
Headlines printed in the daily news
|
Awake the sleeping rage inside.
|
Disarm the people, keep ¡®em all confused.
|
Kill before they turn the tide.
|
|
Dirty Little Secrets going round,
|
Whispering from ear to ear.
|
Burning down the very heart of town.
|
Nobody shed a tear.
|
|
Dirty Little Secret, Dirty Little Secret.
|
|
Look up to the sky, your tears fall from the clouds
|
But Greenwood don¡¯t you cry, just shout it right out loud.
|
It¡¯s such a Dirty Little Secret.
|
|
Getting so much darker every day.
|
It¡¯s hard to rise above it all.
|
¡°Can¡¯t we get along?¡± I heard somebody say.
|
Who¡¯s gonna make the call?
|
|
¡°Cause all the walking wounded pay the price
|
For living in the promised land.
|
Take care of your neighbor would be my advice,
|
¡®cause nothing ever goes as planned.
|
|
It¡¯s such a Dirty Little Secret,
|
Dirty Little Secret, Dirty Little Secret
|
Dirty Little Secret
