Lyrics
Public Image
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You never listen to a word that I say
You only see me for the clothes that I wear
Oh, did the interest go so much steeper?
It must have been the colour of my hair
Public image, public image, public image
What you wanted was never made clear
Behind the image is ignorance and fear
You hide behind this public machine
Still a part of the same old sheen
Public image, public image, public image

Two sides to every story
Somebody had to stop me
I'm not the same as when I began
I won't be treated as property
Public image, public image, public image
Two sides to every story
Somebody had to stop me
I'm not the same as when I began
It's not a game of Monopoly
Public image, public image, public im
