Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Soul Asylum or about the 1980s in general.
Thought I heard you screaming
And pulling out your hair
Furious and steaming, a state upon your stare
Don’t you know dirt will find you and
Dirt reminds you that
Dirt will always be there, it’s only
Dirt around you and dirt surrounds you and
Follows you everywhere
Here’s a dirty joke, man, filled with filth and smut
The heart of it, it sparkles, the more it can corrupt
Don’t you know, dirt can’t hurt you
I’m truly certain, usually washes out
Don’t you know, rain will wash out the
Stain and all of your, pain will work itself out
Work it out, ‘fraid you’ve lost your innocence
To some-odd social scene, you’re right on top
But you’ve been replaced, by a shiny new machine
And dirt keeps following you, and you don’t know what it means
You’re a little too clean, a little too clean, a little too clean
One day dirt will bury you and you will understand
There is nothing much more than the ground on which you stand
Don’t you know dirt will find you and
Dirt reminds you that dirt will always be there
It’s only dirt around you and
Dirt surrounds you and follows you everywhere
‘Fraid you’ve lost your innocence, to some-odd social scene
You’re right on top, but you’ve been replaced
By a shiny new machine and dirt keeps following you
And you don’t know what it means, you’re a little too clean
A little too clean, a little too clean
