Dirty World Lyrics by Meshell Ndegéocello

Weather

2011

[Verse 1]
The pursuit of happiness
Has led to clutter
Overdressed and undepressed
And love should fly with one million or more to love us

[Chorus]
Dirty world, dirty world, dirty world, oh a dirty world
Dirty world, dirty world, dirty world
Kick and scream and watch it burn

[Verse 2]
The smell of rubbish
Regret and pain
Hear them sell us
A beautiful fraud
A beautiful fraud

[Interlude]
Spinning around, spinning around, spinning around
(The world is spinning)
Spinning around, spinning around, spinning around
(The world is spinning)
Spinning around, spinning around, spinning around
Not for me, not for me, not for me, no

[Chorus]
Dirty world, dirty world, dirty world, you dirty world
Dirty world, dirty world, dirty world
Kick and scream and watch it burn
Dirty world, dirty world, dirty world, oh you dirty world
Dirty world, dirty world, dirty world
Kick and scream and watch it burn
