Tom Morello
Dirty Deeds Done Cheap (Live)
[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 shit, the electrodes fit
We'll have ourselves a ball

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
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
Mass 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!
