Dirty Hands

Lyrics

[Chorus] You could never wash the dirt from my hands You could never wash the dirt from my hands You could never wash the dirt from my hands I ain't ready for your kind of clean, I hope you understand [Verse 1] All you angels wear the same clothes You eat the same trash, you walk the same road When you were days old, went chasing rainbows You saw the plane crash and lost your halo You looked at your hands, eyes wide as dinner plates You shook your thunderstorms, you felt a thinner face You fell on bended knee, you cried your metal eyes You hands rose to the trees, you begged those yellow skies [Chorus] But please, don't ever wash the dirt from my hands Please, don't ever wash the dirt from my hands Please, don't ever wash the dirt from my hands I ain't ready for your kind of clean, I hope you understand, now [Verse 2] Help me, I can't help you, won't you help me help you out? The beggars wear a suit and tie, a sandwich board of all their doubts Lost their wings, fell to earth, no clue where they should land Just questions to your mysteries and dirt on your hands The prostitutes can tell you what your body's worth to business men In the alley, in the courtroom, in a taxi, with a friend The senators they fix must have a briefcase of your plans And every day they try to sell the dirt on your hands I used to dig for earthworms, make mud pies, dance in rain With lightening blazing overhead, the king of walking stains The fuck ups and the fall downs, they make me who I am Everybody lay your burdens, raise them dirty hands Drop down, say [Bridge] Dirty hands now Dirty hands now Dirty hands now Raise your dirty hands and tell me [Chorus] You could never wash the dirt from my hands You could never wash the dirt from my hands You could never wash the dirt from my hands I ain't ready for your kind of clean, I hope you understand [Outro] All you angels lost your halos, walk the same road, don't you? All you angels, walk the same road, lost your halos, did you? All you angels, eat the same trash, walk the same road, don't you? Dirty hands, don't wash your dirty hands
