Dirty Little Secret Lyrics - Singles - Graham Nash

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
