Always Dirty, Never Clean

They tied me up, they stripped me down
againt the world, I'll stand my ground
I'll sell my songs but not my soul

They'll chew you up, they'll spit you out
yeah follow me we'll ride it out
I'll sell my songs but not my soul

I'll take dignity over industry
My wardrobe has never meant shit to me
I'll sell my songs, but never my soul
And what the fuck happened to rock n' roll?

I've got bruises on my hands and knees
and a list of failures in between
always dirty I am never clean
Music is what you hear and not what you see

There's something wrong this isn't right
I make the rules but I'm gone tonight
I signed a line bit didn't lose control
They'll tell you lies right to your eyes
before you know they'll suck you dry
I signed a line but didn't lose control

We've got families and mouths to feed
I'll take pride over profit and guts over greed
I signed a line but didn't lose control
and what the fuck happened to rock n' roll?

I've got bruises on my hands and knees
and a list of failures in between
always dirty I am never clean
Music is what you hear and not what you see

And if there's one thing left to tell
is that I am being real
and you should know
yeah you should know
Just how I feel
oh just how feel
you should know, you should know
just how I feel

I've got bruises on my hands and knees
and a list of failures in between
always dirty I am never clean
Music is what you hear and not what you see
