Dirty Water Lyrics

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

I swear I've seen your face before
It peered inside my open door
I'm sure I've played this game before
Pay a little bit now then later more

Angel, angel, ring them bells
Ring them bells
Something is wrong it doesn't belong
And it's not natural to sing that song

And if I wash my hands in your dirty water
Will your religion make me clean

Oh oh oh oh

And if I wet my feet in your dirty water
Will I be blind for all I see

A lover would be more concerned
When I needed you, your head was turned
Seems like you do what you can
To make me feel a guilty man

Angel, angel, ring them bells
Ring them bells
Something is wrong it doesn't belong
And it's not natural to sing that song

And if I wash my hands in your dirty water
Will your religion make me clean

Oh oh oh oh

And if I wet my feet in your dirty water
Will I be blind for all I see

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

And if I wash my hands in your dirty water
(Repeat to fade)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
