Ego Is Not A Dirty Word

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
And if you did not have an ego you'd just be like the rest

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 a gun

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 going

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
