[Intro]
We care a lot
We care a lot

[Verse 1]
(We care a lot) About disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
About the NASA's, and the falling, and the seas
(We care a lot) About starvation and the food that Live Aid bought
(We care a lot) About disease, baby, Rock, Hudson, rock! What?

[Chorus 1]
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it (We care a lot)

[Verse 2]
(We care a lot)
(We care a lot) About the gamblers, and the pushers, and the freaks
About the smack, and crack, and wack that hit the streets!
(We care a lot) About the welfare of all you boys and girls
(We care a lot) About you people, 'cause we're out to save the world! What?

[Chorus 2]
Oh, it's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, it's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, it's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, it's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, it's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it
[Verse 3]
(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 we're fighting. Gee, that looks like fun
(We care a lot) About our free speech, and not the FCC
(We care a lot) About the time when they played videos on MTV
(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! What?

[Chorus 3]
Oh, it's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, it's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)
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
