Get Your Hands Dirty

Right and wrong, cruel and kind, who's to say?

There's a code that I believe in

Every choice, you're gonna find there's shades of grey

There are rules for a reason

Robin Hood, yeah?

Awesome guy, yeah!

You'd agree?

But he stole for the poor

So you could then cross that line, theoretically

I don't know you anymore

The decision's always up to you

When there's only one thing left to do

Gotta get your hands dirty

Just jump headfirst into the mess

Gotta get your hands dirty

Give it your worst, give it your best

Bad and good, shouldn't and should

Isn't always black and white

Gotta get your hands dirty to get it right

Alright, alright

Okay, but there's some universal truths you must recognize?

Like?

Valiant knights, pure and good, guaranteed

That depends on what they're fighting for

Creepy witches selling potions for evil deeds

She could have kids she's providing for

If your good-good things will come to you

That broken vase shows that's not true

That's not fair!

But that's how it's going

You're a nice girl, but your princess is showing

Life's a complicated game, it seems

Sometimes you can't afford to play it clean

Gotta get your hands dirty, I don't know

Just jump headfirst into the mess

Gotta get your hands dirty, maybe so

Give it your worst, give it your best

Bad and good, shouldn't and should

Isn't always black and white

Gotta get your hands dirty to get it right, right

Alright, alright

But just how far do you go?

How much do you compromise?

Oh, tell me, how do you know?

Where do you draw the line?

There's nothing I wouldn't do

If my heart tells me it's right

If it's for someone I love

If it's to save a life

To save your life

Gotta get your hands dirty

Just jump headfirst into the mess

Gotta get your hands dirty

Give it your worst, give it your best

Bad and good, shouldn't and should

Isn't always black and white

Gotta get your hands dirty to get it right

Gotta get your hands dirty to get it right

Alright, alright
