We Care a Lot Lyrics

We care a lot
We care a lot

We care a lot about disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
We care a lot about the NASA shuttle falling in the sea
We care a lot about starvation and the food that Live Aid bought
We care a lot about disease, baby Rock, Hudson, rock, yeah

We care a lot
We care a lot

We care a lot about the gamblers and the pushers and the freaks
We care a lot about the people who live on the street
We care a lot about the welfare of all the boys and girls
We care a lot about you people 'cause we're out to save the world, yeah

It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Its a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it

It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it

We care a lot about the army, navy, air force and marines
We care a lot about the NY, SF and LAPD
We care a lot about you people
We care a lot about your guns
We care a lot about the wars you're fighting gee that looks like fun

We care a lot about the cabbage patch, the smurfs, and DMC
We care a lot about Madonna and we cop for Mr.T
We care a lot about the little things, the bigger things we top
We care a lot about you people yeah you bet we care a lot, yeah

It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it

Said, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
