Ego Is Not a Dirty Word - Skyhooks

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

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

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 heard

If Jesus had an ego he’d still be alive today

And if Nixon had no ego he might not be in decay

If you did not have an ego you might not care too much who won

If I did not have an ego I might just use a gun

Some people keep their egos in a bottom drawer

A fridge full of Leonard Cohen

Have to get drunk just 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

Chorus (3 times)

Ego
