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

It's Slander
bạn say it's not a sword
But with your pen bạn torture men
You'd crucify the Lord
And bạn don't have to read it
And bạn don't have to eat it
To buy it is to feed it
So why do we keep foolin' ourselves
Just because bạn read it in a magazine
hoặc see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
Though everybody wants to read all about it
Just because bạn read it in a magazine
hoặc see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual, actual
They say he's homosexual

In the mui xe
Frame him if bạn could
Shoot to kill
To blame him if bạn 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
The headline stories of
All your glory
It's slander

With the words bạn use
You're a parasite in black and white
Do anything for news
If bạn don't go and buy it
Then they won't glorify it
To read it sanctifies it
Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves
Just because bạn read it in a magazine
hoặc see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
Everybody wants to read all about it

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

Scandal
With the words bạn use
You're a parasite in black and white
Do anything for news
And bạn don't go and buy it
Then they won't glorify it
To read it sanctifies it
Why do we keep foolin' ourselves

Slander
bạn say it's not a sin
But with your pen bạn torture men
Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves
Just because bạn read it in a magazine
hoặc see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
Though everybody wants to read all about it
Just because bạn read it in a magazine
hoặc see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual
See, but everybody wants to believe all about it
Just because bạn read it in a magazine
hoặc see it on the TV screen
Don't make it factual

You're so damn disrespectable
