Dirty Lyrics by grandson

Death Of An Optimist

2020

[Verse 1]
Is it time to lead or is it time to die?
Time to raise hell or walk on by?
Is there anybody out there that's payin’ attention?
Yeah, yeah
Is it time to speak up or time for silence?
Time for peace or is it time for violence?
Is there anybody out there that's payin' attention?
Yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what you tryna hide
And what you runnin’ from inside
'Cause I got a surprise
We might not make it to the mornin'
So go on and tell me now

[Chorus]
Do you have enough love in your heart
To go and get your hands dirty?
It isn't that much, but it's a good start
So go and get your hands dirty
Do you love your neighbor?
Is it in your nature?
Do you love a sunset?
Aren't you fed up yet?
Do you have enough love in your heart
To go and get your hands dirty?

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
To go and get your hands dirty

[Verse 2]
I got a skeleton under the floorboard
I got a secret I need you to keep
Run away, run away, you have been forewarned
I don't wanna go off in the deep
If we don't do somethin’, we’ll be stuck up in the mud again
Don't wanna mess it up ’cause I want everything and nothing at all
I've got a feeling when they walkin' on the ceilin'
That the people needed healin’ and they know

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me what you tryna hide
And what you runnin' from inside
'Cause I got a surprise
We might not make it to the mornin'
So go on and tell me now

[Chorus]
Do you have enough love in your heart
To go and get your hands dirty?
It isn't that much, but it's a good start
So go and get your hands dirty
Do you love your neighbor?
Is it in your nature?
Do you love a sunset?
Aren't you fed up yet?
Do you have enough love in your heart
To go and get your hands dirty?

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
To go and get your hands dirty

[Bridge]
Is there anybody out there that's payin' attention?
Is there anybody out there that's payin' attention?
Is there anybody out there that's payin' attention?
Is there anybody out there? (There, there, there, there, there, there)
So go on and tell me now (Oh)

[Chorus]
Do you have enough love in your heart
(Do you have enough love in your heart?)
To go and get your hands dirty?
It isn't that much, but it's a good start (A good start)
So go and get your hands dirty
Do you love your neighbor?
Is it in your nature?
Do you love a sunset?
Aren't you fed up yet?
Do you have enough love in your heart
To go and get your hands dirty?

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
To go and get your hands dirty
