Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap Songtext
von Tom Morello

If you′ve got a country that is rich in oil
Buried beneath the sand
If your population is black or brown
Or of strategic importance, man
Pick up the phone, I'm always home
Call the White House anytime
I′ll send the bombers in with a stupid grin
I lead a life of crime

Dirty deeds
Done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds
Done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds
Done dirt cheep

Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap


You got problems with the local folks
The ones you haven′t shot
If you find the prisoner just won′t talk
Innocent or not
Pick up the phone I'm here alone
I say, "Torture ′em all"
And let God sort that shit, if the electrodes fit
We'll have ourselves a ball

Dirty deeds
Done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds
Done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds
Done dirt cheep

Dirty deeds and they′re done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds and they′re done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap

You got a head of state and you want 'em gone
But you ain′t got the guts
They won′t do what Uncle Sam says
It drives the world bank nuts
Well I pick up the phone, the press I own
Iraq, Venezuela, Iran
I'm willing to lie, send young men to die
To make a little money for my friends, ay


Dirty deeds
Done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds
Done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds
Done dirt cheep

Dirty deeds and they′re done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds and they′re done dirt cheap
Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap

Rendition, secret prisons
Fact or fiction!
Done dirt cheap!
Stolen elections, staffing factions
False confession!

Done dirt cheap!
Dirty deeds
Done dirt cheap!
Dirty deeds
You wanna know
Done dirt cheap! Ha!
