Dirty Lil Secret

(album: Promised Land - 1994)

Times have changed
for the better
You like to say
Nice house in the country
Now you're on your way
You took advantage of our possibilities
Got your sights set far
No time for sympathy

Keeping up with the Jones's
Smiling at the neighbors
Don't let them see your...

Dirty, Dirty Little Secret
Keep your hands over your eyes and
Maybe it will go away
Dirty, Dirty little secret
Joe McCarthy is alive and well today

When you face the mirror
Consider this
Why judge another when you've got
Your own shit to fix
There's no solution
good enough for everyone
And your interpretations don't work
In every situation

You side with your religion
With your interpretation
But don't let them see your...

Dirty, Dirty Little Secret
It seems the most opinionated
Are the ones who hide their
Dirty, Dirty Little Secret
I'll be leaving the status quo behind

How can you know someone
Until you walk in their shoes?
Our parents taught us segregation
Now we're singing the blues
The dynamic of America is progress for all
Well, can't hold us back we're right on the track
No wall is too tall
By the will of the people
We'll take a road to higher ground
And don't worry about that...

Dirty, Dirty Little Secret
Everybody's got one
So many you can pass them around
Dirty, Dirty Little Secret
I'll be leaving the status quo behind
