dirty winner
Dirty Trashroad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm doin' my own thang.
Lots of assholes don't like it.
I try to win and in the end
The end justifies the means.
Now the carwash costs a dollar
Yeah, baby, I'm drivin' the American Dream.
You're cruisin' in your limousine.
[*]
SO BABY, HANG 'EM HIGH (DIRTY WINNERS)
BABY, HANG 'EM HIGH (DIRTY WINNERS)
SO BABY, HANG 'EM HIGH (DIRTY WINNERS)
I'M JAMMIN' IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLUES
Breakdown's easy
Lon as you're goin' all the way.
Now here's what I wanna do
Kick in your ass royally.
You're so blind Mr.Kiss-Ass.
Cheatin' on broads and kids now
You're just a pimp, a piece of shit.
How can you do what you do?
[Repeat *]
Well, you never run out of all your shit, problems.
(In deepest shit)
Sick and tired of your hanky panky, sly, slick smiles.
(Fu...)
Can't you tell you're the baddest talk of the town?
(The baddest kind)
Why don't you burn in hell?
(Ah... ha)
Burn in hell now
[Repeat * 3x]
'Drop dead, Kiss-Ass'
The song "Dirty Winner" by Dirty Trashroad is a commentary on the cutthroat nature of the music industry and the lengths that people will go to succeed in it. The lyrics speak to a protagonist who is doing their own thing, but constantly faces criticism and resistance from others who don't approve. They believe that the end justifies the means and will do whatever it takes to win, even if it means resorting to dirty tactics. The song highlights the contrast between the singer, who is striving for the American Dream by driving their own car and working hard, and the antagonist, who is cruising in a limousine and cheating on others to get ahead.
The chorus of the song, "So baby, hang 'em high (dirty winners), I'm jammin' in the shadow of the blues," is a call to arms for those who are willing to resort to dirty tactics to get ahead. The breakdown section of the song is a declaration of war, with the singer stating their intention to kick their antagonist's ass royally. The lyrics also include insults directed at the antagonist, describing them as a piece of shit and a pimp.
The song captures the frustration and anger that can arise when someone is trying to succeed in a competitive industry. It also highlights the moral compromises that people can make when they are driven by a desire to win at all costs. In this sense, the song is a cautionary tale about the perils of pursuing success without regard for ethics or morals.
