Speculate to break the one you hate 
Circulate the lie you confiscate 
Assassinate and mutilate 
The hounding media in hysteria 
Who's the next for you to resurrect 
JFK exposed the CIA 
Truth be told the grassy knoll 
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 
And you don't have to eat it 
To buy it is to 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 
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 
If you 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 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 
Then they won't glorify it 
To read it sanctifies 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 believe 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
