Hope You Don’t Stoop to Dirty Words

I hope you don't shoot at the Turks

I hope you don't stoop to dirty words

I hope you don't send out the birds

When you watch your houses come down

And all the flames shooting around up there in the air

Down here on the ground

I hope you don't send up the stripes

Oh, shake your fist out at the night

Take a list out and cite your rights

When you watch your houses come down

Never gonna hold your lover's hands in the air again

I hope you don't shoot at the Turks

I hope you don't stoop to dirty words

Cause dirty words are only ever heard

But they're not used in stinkin' dirty words

And do you know regrets?

Or have you no regrets?

Cause they didn't know anything

No, they just heard that it was comin' down
