I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something, something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry
Well, I could've been an actor
But I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they up
Kick 'em when they're down
Dirty laundry, dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they up
Kick 'em all around
Dirty laundry, dirty laundry
Got the bubble-headed bleached-blonde
Comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash
With a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they up
Kick 'em all around
Dirty laundry, dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're down
Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got dirty little fingers
In everybody's pie
Love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry
Yeah, yeah
We could do the innuendo
We could dance and sing
When it's said and done
We haven't showed you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they up
Kick 'em when they're down
Dirty laundry, dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they up
Kick 'em all around
Dirty laundry, dirty laundry
Hey, oh, gotta kick 'em when they're down
Gotta kick 'em when they're down
I know you feel it, I know you feel it
You gotta kick 'em when they're down
You gotta kick 'em when they're down
You gotta kick 'em when they're down
Yeah, oh
Dirty laundry, dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they up
Kick 'em when they're down
Dirty laundry, dirty laundry
