Ego Is Not a Dirty Word Lyrics by Skyhooks

The Collection/The Lost Album

1975

[Verse 1]
If I did not have an ego
I would not be here tonight
If I did not have an ego
I might not think that I was right
And if you did not have an ego
You might not care the way you dressed
If you did not have an ego
You'd just be like the rest
(yeah)
[Chorus]
Ego! is not a dirty word
Ego! is not a dirty word
Ego! is not a dirty word
Don't you believe what you've seen or you've heard
[Verse 2]
Well, if Jesus had an ego
He'd still be alive today
And if Nixon had no ego
He might not be in decay
And if you did not have an ego
You might not care too much who won
And if I did not have an ego
I might just use the gun
(ahh)
[Chorus]
Ego! is not a dirty word
Ego! is not a dirty word
Ego! is not a dirty word
Don't you believe what you've seen or you've heard
[Bridge]
Some people keep their egos in a bottom drawer
A fridge full of Leonard Cohen
Have to get drunk to walk out the door
Stay drunk to keep on goin'
[Pre-Chorus]
So if you got an ego, you better
Keep it in good shape
Exercise it daily
And get it down on tape
(cause)
[Chorus]
Ego! is not a dirty word
Ego! is not a dirty word
Ego! is not a dirty word
Don't you believe what you've seen or you've heard
[Chorus]
Ego! is not a dirty word
Ego! is not a dirty word (dirty word, dirty word)
Ego! is not a dirty word
Don't you believe what you've seen or you've heard
[Chorus]
Ego! is not a dirty word
Ego! is not a dirty word
Ego! is not a dirty word
Don't you believe what you've seen or you've heard
[Outro]
Ego!
