    Wait dirty deeds? I don’t recall all the lyrics to that, let me go look that up.

    Tap for spoiler

    If you’re having trouble with the high school head He’s giving you the blues You wanna graduate, but not in his bed Here’s what you gotta do Pick up the phone, I’m always home Call me any time

    Just ring, 3-6, 2-4, 3-6, hey I lead a life of crime

    Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap Dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap

    You got problems in your life of love? You got a broken heart? He’s double dealin’ with your best friend That’s when the teardrops start, fella Pick up the phone, I’m here alone Or make a social call

    Come right in, forget about him We’ll have ourselves a ball, hey

    Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap (ahoo) Dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap Hoo-yeah

    If you got a lady, and you want her gone (ah, ah, ah, ah) But you ain’t got the guts (ah, ah, ah, ah) She keeps naggin’ at you night and day (ah, ah, ah, ah) Enough to drive you nuts (ah, ah, ah, ah) Pick up the phone, leave her alone (ah, ah, ah, ah) It’s time you made a stand (ah, ah, ah, ah)

    For a fee, I’m happy to be Your back-door man, hey

    Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap (yeah) Dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap

    Concrete shoes Cyanide, TNT (done dirt cheap) Neck ties, contracts High voltage (done dirt cheap)

    Dirty deeds (do anything you want me to) Done dirt cheap Dirty deeds (dirty deeds, dirty deeds) Done dirt cheap

    Yeah

    Ok, so yes it does mention having a “nagging lady” and wanting her gone. In fairness, the two examples dropped first are a male school administrator who takes advantage of students for his own gratification, and a "double dealin’ " man in a relationship who’s cheating with his partners “best friend”. So yes, the song has violence. I don’t think a “nagging” partner would be equal to infidelity or sexual exploitation of minors, but the character in the song is not noted for his sense of righteousness. Certainly not something I think a “backdoor man” would be warranted for.

    Kinda feels like the character is slipping deeper with each justification, using less and less to assuage his conscious of any guilt over taking money for what he’s doing.
