Play Dirty
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I got a six string heater - jump in to the fire.
I got a rim shot beater, that's my desire.
Hundred-watt destroyer, gonna put you away,
Turn it up to eleven, we came to play.
If you don't sweat you don't get it.
If it don't burn it ain't hot.
If ain't nasty forget it.
If it ain't rude it don't rock.
Play dirty, play rough.
Play dirty, 'cause I can't get enough.
I got a mind half crazy, now ain't that sad!
I can't stop rockin', but that's too bad.
Overpowered distortion, blowin' out my brain,
Shockwaves in my body, drivin' me insane.
If you don't sweat you don't get it.
If it don't burn it ain't hot.
If ain't nasty forget it.
If it ain't rude it don't rock.
Play dirty, play rough,
Play dirty, 'cause I can't get enough.
{Rod - Slide Solo}
Yeah!
Ah huh huh huh huh..
If you don't sweat you don't get it.
If it don't burn it ain't hot.
If ain't nasty forget it,
If it ain't rude it don't rock.
Play d-i-r-t-y, play rough.
Play dirty, 'cause I can't get enough.
Play dirty, play rough,
Play dirty, 'cause I can't get enough.
Play dirty...
