Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Well, I could've 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] We got the bubble-headed bleached-blonde, comes on at five She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye It's interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry [Verse 4] 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 [Guitar Solo] [Verse 5] You don't really need to find out what's goin' on You don't really wanna know just how far it's gone Just leave well enough alone, keep your dirty laundry [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] 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 [Verse 6] Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie We love to cut you down to size, we love dirty laundry [Verse 7] We can do "The Innuendo," we can dance and sing When it's said and done, we haven't told you a thing We all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry [Guitar Solo] [Outro] 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 When they're up, 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
