Lyrics

[Intro] In the news today from the strange and weird fact file Singer Michael Jackson sleeps in a oxygen chamber The singer says that the hyperbaric chamber has the benefits of reversing the aging process (overlapping voices) This just in, singer Michael Jackson has a shrine to Elizabeth Taylor in his Encino home [Verse 1] Speculate to break the one you hate Circulate the lie you confiscate Assassinate and mutilate It's the hounding media in hysteria Who's the next, for you to resurrect? JFK exposed the CIA Truth be told the grassy knoll It's the blackmail story in all your glory [Pre-Chorus] 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) Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves? [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 It's the headline stories of all your glory [Pre-Chorus] 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? [Chorus] (Baby! Baby!) 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 (Believe it, baby) Don't make it factual (See, but everybody wants to believe all about it) Just because you read it in a magazine (Release me) Or see it on the TV screen (Somebody release me) 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 [Bridge] (Overlapping voices) Everybody got something to read about Everybody got something rude to say Everybody got some vicious scandal Everybody's got some news to handle I despise what they're talking about Everybody's talkin' 'bout every scandal Then we got something to for someone to hold A scandal and something for the news to say [Pre-Chorus] Scandal With the words you use You're a parasite in black and white Do anythin' 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 But why do we keep foolin' ourselves? [Chorus] (Baby! Baby!) Just because you read it in a magazine (Believe it, baby!) Or see it on the TV screen Don't make it factual (Baby!) Though everybody wants to read all about it (Yeah, oh-oh) 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 (You better believe it) Just because you read it in a magazine (Baby!) Or see it on the TV screen (Believe it, baby!) Don't make it factual (See, the Sunday Times are not a friend of mine) Just because you read it in a magazine (Somebody, release me!) Or see it on the TV screen (Believe it, baby!) Don't make it factual (You better believe it, yeah, yeah) [Outro] Just because you read it in a magazine (Yeah, yeah) Or see it on the TV screen (Baby!) Don't make it factual, actual (Believe it, baby! Oh-oh) You're so damn disrespectable
