Cover art for Dirty Lives lyrics by Love as Laughter

This song is about how everyone judges everyone and wants to find something wrong with them. Even when your doing nothing wrong (Sin with hands in pockets) and even doing the right thing (cherub's smile) people will say your not a good person for whatever the reason. They say we live Dirty Lives, but they don't see it that way at all.
