[Verse 1] If you've got a country that's rich in oil Buried beneath the sand Or if your population is black or brown Or of strategic importance, man Pick up the phone, I'm always home Call the White House anytime I'll send the bombers in with a stupid grin I lead a life of crime [Chorus] Dirty deeds Done dirt cheap Dirty deeds Done dirt cheap Dirty deeds Done dirt cheep Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap Dirty deeds and they're done dirt cheap [Verse 2] If you've having trouble with the local folks The ones you haven't shot If you find the prisoner just won't talk Innocent or not Pick up the phone I'm here alone I say "torture 'em all"
Let God sort that sh**, the electrodes fit We'll have ourselves a ball [Chorus] [Hook] If you got a head of state and you want 'em gone But you ain't got the guts They won't do what Uncle Sam says It drives the world, them nuts Pick up the phone, the press I own the rank [?] on Iran I'm willing to send some young men to die To make money for my friends [Chorus] [Outro] Rendition, secret prisons Backdoor fiction! Done dirt cheap! Stolen elections, forced confessions Ma** deception! Done dirt cheap! Dirty deeds I got a lotta dirty deeds Done dirt cheap! Dirty deeds I got a lotta dirty deeds Done dirt cheap! Yeah!
