Ego Is Not a Dirty Word (2015 Remaster)

If I did not have an ego

I would not be here tonight

If I did not have an ego

I might not think that I was right

And if you did not have an ego

You might not care the way you dressed

If you did not have an ego

You'd just be like the rest

(yeah)

Ego! is not a dirty word

Ego! is not a dirty word

Ego! is not a dirty word

Don't you believe what you've seen or you've heard

Well, if Jesus had an ego

He'd still be alive today

And if Nixon had no ego

He might not be in decay

And if you did not have an ego

You might not care too much who won

And if I did not have an ego

I might just use the gun

(ahh)

Ego! is not a dirty word

Ego! is not a dirty word

Ego! is not a dirty word

Don't you believe what you've seen or you've heard

Some people keep their egos in a bottom drawer

A fridge full of Leonard Cohen

Have to get drunk to walk out the door

Stay drunk to keep on goin'

So if you got an ego, you better

Keep it in good shape

Exercise it daily

And get it down on tape

(cause)

Ego! is not a dirty word

Ego! is not a dirty word

Ego! is not a dirty word

Don't you believe what you've seen or you've heard

Ego! is not a dirty word

Ego! is not a dirty word (dirty word, dirty word)

Ego! is not a dirty word

Don't you believe what you've seen or you've heard

Ego! is not a dirty word

Ego! is not a dirty word

Ego! is not a dirty word

Don't you believe what you've seen or you've heard

Ego!
