Dirty Laundry Lyrics By Don Henley

    i make my livin’ off the evenin’ news
    just give me somethin’ somethin’ i can use
    people love it when you lose
    they love dirty laundry

    well i coulda’ 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 bubbleheaded bleachedblonde 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

    4
    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

    5
    you don’t really need to find out what’s goin’ on
    you don’t really wanna 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

    post
    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

    6
    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

    7
    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
    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 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 when they’re down
    when they’re up 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 when they’re down
    kick ’em when they’re up
    kick ’em when they’re down
