[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Speculate to break the one you hate
~#**************#~
Circulate the lie you confiscate
~#**************#~
Assassinate and mutilate
~#**************#~
As the hounding media in hysteria
~#**************#~
Whos the next, for you to resurrect?
~#**************#~
JFK exposed the CIA
~#**************#~
Truth be told the grassy knoll
~#**************#~
As the blackmail story in all your glory
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Its slander
~#**************#~
You say its not a sword
~#**************#~
But with your pen, you torture men
~#**************#~
Youd crucify the Lord
~#**************#~
And you dont have to read it (Read it)
~#**************#~
And you dont have to eat it (Eat it)
~#**************#~
To buy it is to feed it (Feed it)
~#**************#~
Then why do we keep foolin ourselves?
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Just because you read it in a magazine
~#**************#~
Or see it on the TV screen
~#**************#~
Dont 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
~#**************#~
Dont make it factual, actual
~#**************#~
They say hes homosexual
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Its slander
~#**************#~
With the words you use
~#**************#~
Youre a parasite in black and white
~#**************#~
Do anything for news
~#**************#~
And you dont go and buy it (Buy it)
~#**************#~
And they wont glorify it (‘Fy it)
~#**************#~
To read it sanctifies it (‘Fies it)
~#**************#~
Then why do we keep foolin ourselves?
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
(Baby! Baby!)
~#**************#~
Just because you read it in a magazine
~#**************#~
Or see it on the TV screen
~#**************#~
Dont 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
~#**************#~
Dont make it factual
~#**************#~
See, but everybody wants to believe all about it
~#**************#~
Just because you read it in a magazine (Release me)
~#**************#~
Or see it on the TV screen (Somebody release me)
~#**************#~
Dont 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
~#**************#~
Dont make it factual, actual
~#**************#~
Shes blonde and shes bisexual
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
Scandal
~#**************#~
With the words you use
~#**************#~
Youre a parasite in black and white
~#**************#~
Do anythin for news
~#**************#~
And you dont go and buy it (Buy it)
~#**************#~
And they wont glorify it (‘Fy it)
~#**************#~
To read it sanctifies it (‘Fies it)
~#**************#~
Why do we keep foolin ourselves?
~#**************#~
Slander!
~#**************#~
You say its not a sin
~#**************#~
But with your pen, you torture men
~#**************#~
But why do we keep foolin ourselves?
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
(Baby! Baby!)
~#**************#~
Just because you read it in a magazine
~#**************#~
Or see it on the TV screen
~#**************#~
Dont 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
~#**************#~
Dont 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
~#**************#~
Dont make it factual
~#**************#~
Just because you read it in a magazine
~#**************#~
Or see it on the TV screen
~#**************#~
Dont make it factual
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Just because you read it in a magazine
~#**************#~
Or see it on the TV screen
~#**************#~
Dont make it factual, actual
~#**************#~
Youre so damn disrespectable
