Lyrics
Tabloid
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.
Sitting on a subway reading all about it
Another bold face lying headline, I don't doubt it
This fascination with character assasination
When all you really have in this life is your reputation
It's your life, it's their story
It's your pain, it's their gain
It's your shame, it's their glory
It's their claim to your fame and your name is fair game
It's black and white and read all over
Inquiring Minds still wanna know ya
It's in the Sun, it's in the Moon, it's in the Star
It's not what you know, it's who you are
I'm not trying to warn ya
I'm just trying to scare ya
Trial by media is trial by error
Matters of fact have no weight
Long live the late great fourth estate
