Dirty Little Secret

Greenwood Oklahoma, June of '21

Someone set the night on fire

Lost a lot of people as the day begun

Who lit the funeral pyre?

On an elevator in the heart of town

Someone make somebody scream

Black and white, going up and down

Who's gonna lose a dream?

Dirty little secret

Headlines printed in the daily news

Awake the sleeping rage inside

Disarm the people, keep?em all confused

Kill before they turn the tide

Dirty little secrets going round

Whispering from ear to ear

Burning down the very heart of town

Nobody shed a tear

Dirty little secret, dirty little secret

Look up to the sky, your tears fall from the clouds

But Greenwood don't you cry, just shout it right out loud

It's such a dirty little secret

Getting so much darker every day

It's hard to rise above it all

'Can't we get along?' I heard somebody say

Who's gonna make the call?

'Cause all the walking wounded pay the price

For living in the promised land

Take care of your neighbor would be my advice

'Cause nothing ever goes as planned

It's such a dirty little secret

Dirty little secret, dirty little secret

Dirty little secret

Dirty little secret, dirty little secret

Dirty little secret, dirty little secret
