Dirty Deal lyrics

Met a creep who gets things done

He told me I'm the number one

He knew I was innocent

I knew he was fucking bent

He embraced me like a friend

Showed me all his monuments

I was impressed, what the hell

Where I come from ain't much to tell

Stealing all the way I feel

As I signed the dirty deal

System's rigged to favor crooks

You don't find that in civic books

It's not cool to ask a man

To sign what he don't understand

Guys found other guys were right

Contract's starting, then the night

And when truth is violent

They'll hand you on a chain link fence

Once you're in there's no appeal

You signed the dirty deal

Beware, beware!

Dirty, it's dirty

Once you're in there's no appeal

You signed the dirty deal

Beware, beware!Listen!

Let the lame old story down people

I was a dummy, not a clown, people

I'm getting hard to be around people

Warning, warning, beware, beware!

Welcome to the real world

Where trouble loves a pretty girl

Your compound interest drifted, scum

Bite your blood into it runs

Simple people praise the lord

Smarter people steal and hoard

If I was the president

I couldn't change their evil plans

Stealing all the way I feel

'Cause I signed the dirty deal

Dirty, it's dirty

It's dirty, it's dirty out there

The way I feel is I signed the dirty deal

Beware, beware

Dirty deal, dirty deal
