Can't Be Still Lyrics - Soul Dressing - Booker T. And The Mg's

I make my living off the Evening News 

Just give me somethin', somethin' 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're up, kick 'em when they're down 

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down 

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down 

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em all around 

We got the bubble headed bleach blond who 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 

Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet? 

You know the boys in the newsroom got a running bet 

Get the widow on the set, we need dirty laundry 

You don't really need to find out what's goin' on 

You don't really want to know just how far it's gone 

Just leave well enough alone, eat your dirty laundry 

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down 

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down 

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down 

Kick 'em when they're stiff, kick 'em all around 

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down 

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down 

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down 

Kick 'em when they're stiff, kick 'em all around 

Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies 

We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie 

We love to cut you down to size, we love dirty laundry 

We can do, "The Innuendo," we can dance and sing 

When it's said and done we haven't told you a thing 

We all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry 

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down 

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down 

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down 

...
