Other People's Lives
(专辑: Other People's Lives - 2006)
Can't believe what I
just read Gossip on the
Internet Now the
tabloids have the
news Cross my heart it just ain't true I
never thought it of you Name names and every line Is feeding their suspicious minds I'm not bitter or angry I'm only feeling sympathy You really found the
time To feed the
reporter with your views See the
reporter break the
news Read the
reporter, join the
queue Spread the
news, scandalize Words cut like a
thousand knives Take the
cash, bag the
prize For playing games with other people's lives See the
reporter break the
news Read the
reporter, join the
queue Eat it up, take a
bite Feed the
reader's appetite They'll swallow anything you write As long as it's in black and white And full of titillation I
can't believe what I
just read Excuse me, I
just vomited Tell your story, it's your call So autobiographical But oh, so trivial Feed the
reporter They put it on the
Internet To help improve the
circulation They'll pepper it with lies It's only other people's lives Feed the
reporter Read the
reporter Politicians dressed in drag Careers stopped with quick back stab While anonymous informer flees And leaves us with our fantasy And erotic visions Who did what, when, to whom In the
dominatrix room? Tabloids daily titillate Each sordid tale reverberates All across the
nation (What can I
say?) Feed the
reporter (It's a
vendetta) Read the
reporter A
rumor then a
vicious phrase A
poison pen can wreck your day And weather [?] words that crucify As tabloid judges sharpen up their knives Read the
reporter Black and white See the
reporter Victimize See a
poor sucker Crucified To stop the
truth, so tell your lies Betray your friends and get the
prize The
dagger's in, now twist the
knife The
gutter's full of other people's lives
