Lyrics

0:40I make my living off the evening news
0:45Just give me something something I can use
0:49People love it when you lose
0:52They love dirty laundry
0:59Well I coulda been an actor but I wound up here
1:04I just have to look good I don't have to be clear
1:09Come and whisper in my ear
1:12Give us dirty laundry
1:18Kick em when they're up
1:19Kick em when they're down
1:21Kick em when they're up
1:22Kick em when they're down
1:28Kick em when they're up
1:29Kick em when they're down
1:30Kick em when they're up
1:31Kick em all around
1:38We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
1:40Comes on at five
1:43She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam
1:46In her eye
1:47Its interesting when people die-
1:51Give us dirty laundry
1:58Can we film the operation
1:59Is the head dead yet
2:02You know the boys in the newsroom got a
2:05Running bet
2:07Get the widow on the set
2:10We need dirty laundry
2:56You don't really need to find out what's going on
3:01You don't really want to know just how far its gone
3:06Just leave well enough alone
3:09Eat your dirty laundry
3:15Kick em when they're up
3:16Kick em when they're down
3:18Kick em when they're up
3:19Kick em when they're down
3:25Kick em when they're up
3:26Kick em when theyre down
3:27Kick em when they're stiff
3:28Kick em all around
3:30Kick em when they're up
3:31Kick em when they're down
3:32Kick em when they're up
3:33Kick em when they're down
3:35Kick em when they're up
3:36Kick em when they're down
3:37Kick em when they're stiff
3:38Kick em all around
3:40Dirty little secrets
3:42Dirty little lies
3:45We got our dirty little fingers in everybodys pie
3:49We love to cut you down to size
3:53We love dirty laundry
3:59We can do the innuendo
4:01We can dance and sing
4:05When its said and done we havent told you a thing
4:09We all know that crap is king
4:12Give us dirty laundry
4:58Kick em when they're up
4:59Kick em when they're down
5:00Kick em when they're up
5:01Kick em when they're down
5:02Kick em when they're up
5:04Kick em when they're down
5:05Kick em when they're up
5:06Kick em when they're down
5:07Kick em when they're up
5:09Kick em when they're down
5:10Kick em when they're up
5:11Kick em when they're down
5:12Kick em when they're up
5:13Kick em when they're down
5:15Kick em when they're up
5:16Kick em when they're down
5:17Kick em when they're up
5:18Kick em when they're down
5:20Kick em when they're up
5:21Kick em when they're down
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 when they're up
Kick em when they're down
Kick em when they're up
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
Its 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 its 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 up
Kick em when they're down
Kick em when they're up
Kick em when theyre down
Kick em when they're stiff
Kick em all around
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 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 everybodys pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry
We can do the innuendo
We can dance and sing
When its said and done we havent told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
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 when they're up
Kick em when they're down
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 when they're up
Kick em when they're down
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 when they're up
Kick em when they're down
Kick em when they're up
Kick em when they're down
