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 disrespectable
