"Tabloid Junkie"

 

Tabloid Junkie

Speculate to break the one you hate
Circulate the lie you confiscate     
Assassinate and mutilate
As the hounding media in hysteria   
Who's the next for you to resurrect
JFK exposed the CIA
Truth be told the grassy knoll
As the blackmail story in all your glory

It's slander
You say it's not a sword
But with your pen you torture men
You'd crucify the Lord
                                                   And you don't have to read it, read it
And you don't have to eat it, eat it
To buy it is to feed it, feed it
So why do we keep foolin' ourselves

Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
Though everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
                                               Or see it on the TV screen
                                         Don't make it factual, actual
                                                They say he's homosexual

          In the hood

     Frame him if you could    
           Shoot to kill
   To blame him if you will
         If he dies sympathize
         Such false witnesses
  Damn self righteousness
        In the black
    Stab me in the back
           In the face
    To lie and shame the race
         Heroine and Marilyn
      As the headline stories of
           All your glory

                                                                       It's slander
                                                               With the words you use
              You're a parasite in black and white
         Do anything for news
And you don't go and buy it, buy it
And they won't glorify it, 'fy it
To read it sanctifies it, 'fies it
Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
Everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
See, but everybody wants to believe all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
See, but everybody wants to believe all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual, actual
She's blonde and she's bisexual

                    Scandal
 With the words you use
   You're a parasite in black and white
               Do anything for news

       And you don't go and buy it, buy it
   And they won't glorify it, 'fy it
        To read it sanctifies it, 'fies it
      Why do we keep foolin' ourselves
                     Slander
           You say it's not a sin
          But with your pen you torture men
       Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves

Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
Though everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
See, but everybody wants to read all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual, actual
You're so damn dis respectable
