Dirt - Lou Reed

It’s been a long time since I’ve spoken to you

Was it the right time?

Your current troubles, and you know, they’ll get much worse

I hope you know how much I enjoyed them

You’re a pig of a person, but there’s a justice in this world

Hey, how about that

Your lack of conscience and your lack of morality

Well, more and more people know all about it

Do you remember that song by a dude named Bobby Fuller

It went like this:

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

We sat around the other night, me and the guys

Trying to find the right word

That would best fit and describe

You people like that

That no principle has touched, no principle’s baptized

How about that

They’d eat shit and say it tasted good

If there was some money in it for them

Hey, you remember that song about this guy from Texas

Whose name was --- Bobby Fuller

I’ll sing it for you, it went like this:

I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won

You’re just dirt

You’re just dirt, The only word for you is dirt

That’s the only word that — hurt, You’re just dirt

That’s all you’re worth — cheap, cheap dirt

You know they call it —

Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt

You’re just — cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt

You’re just dirt — nothing but — cheap uptown dirt

That’s all you’re worth — It’s just — cheap, cheap, uptown dirt

That’s all you’re worth now (cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt)

You’re just dirt (cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap uptown dirt)

(Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt)

(Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt)

(Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, uptown dirt)
