"Dirty Rotten" lyrics

"Dirty Rotten"

I've decided I don't wanna die, it's not what I wanna do
I don't know what I wanna do, but I don't wanna die
I've been fighting for a cause of some sort
I do not know what it is
But I know that I have to be righteous
If I need to get to the other side of where I'm going
Wherever that was at the beginning
It's now not the same, it's different
I've been searching for a long, long time
Come from a long, long line of searchers
Searching for whatever it is

I've got to keep on going
Got to keep on being stronger
Got to believe there's something for me
On the other side to touch
What happens when we die, man?
Where the hell do we go?
Ever I thought I know, I do not know
Why do I need to know

What was I born with? Nothing
Then we all go back to nothing
While I'm here, I'm taking something
Dirty, rotten, good-for-nothing
What was I born with? Nothing
Then we all go back to nothing
Taking shit, but taking something
Dirty, rotten, good-for-nothing

So where do I go?
What do I say when I get there
To the people that I will meet
Do I say "Hello" or do I say "Hey"?
Will they respond with kindness?
Or will they have some of their own shit going on
That I will take as being my fault

Deep, deep thoughts that take up all my time, oh my
Deep, deep thoughts make me angry, angry
Makes me wanna fight, makes me wanna kill somebody
Not, not, not literally, well, well, well, well kinda

What was I born with? Nothing
Then we all go back to nothing
While I'm here, I'm taking something
Dirty, rotten, good-for-nothing
What was I born with? Nothing
Then we all go back to nothing
Taking shit, but taking something
Dirty, rotten, good-for-nothing

Big, big balls, you need
Big, big balls, you need
Big, big, big, big, big, big balls, you need
Big, big balls, you need
Big, big balls, you need
Big, big, big, big, big, big balls

What was I born with? Nothing
Then we all go back to nothing
While I'm here, I'm taking something
Dirty, rotten, good-for-nothing
What was I born with? Nothing
Then we all go back to nothing
Taking shit, but taking something
Dirty, rotten, good-for-nothing

What was I born with? Nothing
Then we all go back to nothing
While I'm here, I'm taking something
Dirty, rotten, good-for-nothing
What was I born with? Nothing
Then we all go back to nothing
Taking shit, but taking something
Dirty, rotten, good-for-nothing

Take the world for a ride
If there's a riot inside your mind
(Dirty, rotten, good-for-nothing)
Let's take the world for a ride
If there's a riot inside your mind
(Dirty, rotten, good-for-nothing)
