[Verse 1]
I can't get enough of what I need
People all around me letting me bleed
Waiting for the darkness to blind the heat
I make my living out on the streets
Dirty living, ahh, dirty living
I can't wait any longer to set myself free
Flashing lights keep running through my brain
Someone find the doctor to ease all the pain
Traffic in the city is burning me out
She makes me want to jump up and shout
[Chorus]
Dirty living, ahh, dirty living
I can't wait any longer to set myself free, ahh[x2]
No more, no more
I've got to get away
Dirty living, dirty living
Ahh, dirty living
[Verse 2]
Main Line out of China is due in tonight
Mother, sister, brother are lying uptight
I can hear the jukebox pounding out loud
I take my fury out on the crowd
[Chorus]
Dirty living, ahh, dirty living
I can't wait any longer to set myself free, ahh
I can't wait any longer to set myself free, ahh
No more, no more
I've got to get away
[Outro]
Dirty living, dirty living
It's getting to me, it's getting to me
I can't wait, I can't wait
Dirty living, dirty living, yeah
Why don't you set me free
