Filthy Clean


@ Lyrics @

Yesterday I sold my soul to the Nazi party
And donated all the proceeds to the Salvation Army
We’ll launder all our money in a laundry machine
I know the money’s still dirty but at least the dirt is clean

Yesterday I sold my soul to John D. Rockefeller
Who was generous, but only if you’re a Standard Oil seller
He had the most ungodly smile that I’ve ever seen
So keep your hands filthy clean
You know what I mean
Yeah

Yesterday I sold my soul to some crazy fucker
And I managed to convince him it was me who played the sucker
We’ll make those shady deals through the eyes of a vulture
But if there were no sellouts, there’d be no pop culture

And so my friends I hope you like this little allegory
Because everybody loves a little rags-to-riches story
Now you understand the meaning when I sing
Keep your hands filthy clean
You know what I mean
Yeah
You know what I mean
Yeah
