I make my living off the rank-and-file,
I'm a bit of an expert, and I do it in style,
If you wanna stay a while,
Hide the dirty laundry…
I started out as an elder working week after week,
An administrative tough guy who could shepherd the meek,
Now I'm in the Tower's peak,
With its dirty laundry…
Shun 'em when they stand, shun 'em when they fall,
Shun 'em if they're short, shun 'em if they're tall…
Shun 'em when they hide, shun 'em when they call,
Shun 'em if they cry, shun 'em if they crawl…
We got a nice cushy lifestyle at the sheep's expense,
Rhetoric and propaganda over common sense,
Watch out if you're on the fence,
We got dirty laundry…
If we feel a little threatened, or embarrassment,
From a failed prediction of a non-event,
Questioning your true intent,
Hides our dirty laundry…
You don't need a realistic ideology,
All you need to remember is "obediently",
Just don't think you're truly free,
It's our dirty laundry…
Shun 'em when they stand, shun 'em when they fall,
Shun 'em if they're short, shun 'em if they're tall…
Shun 'em when they hide, shun 'em when they call,
Shun 'em if they cry, shun 'em if they crawl…
Dirty little secrets, dirty little games,
A dirty little database full of pedophiles' names,
Don't suggest we'll take the blame,
For our dirty laundry…
Denigrating our opponents, even when they reveal,
That we're martyring the faithful as a cynical deal,
We know none of it is real,
It’s just dirty laundry…
Shun 'em when they stand, shun 'em when they fall,
Shun 'em if they're short, shun 'em if they're tall…
Shun 'em when they hide, shun 'em when they call,
Shun 'em if they cry, shun 'em if they crawl…
