Gateway Mastering Studios - Other People's Lives lyrics

Can't believe what I just read Gossip on the Internet Now the tabloids have the news Cross my heart it just ain't true I never thought it of you Name names and every line Is feeding their suspicious minds I'm not bitter or angry I'm only feeling sympathy You really found the time To feed the reporter with your views See the reporter break the news Read the reporter, join the queue Spread the news, scandalize Words cut like a thousand knives Take the cash, bag the prize For playing games with other people's lives See the reporter break the news Read the reporter, join the queue Eat it up, take a bite Feed the reader's appetite They'll swallow anything you write As long as it's in black and white And full of titillation I can't believe what I just read Excuse me, I just vomited Tell your story, it's your call So autobiographical But oh, so trivial Feed the reporter They put it on the Internet To help improve the circulation They'll pepper it with lies It's only other people's lives Feed the reporter Read the reporter Politicians dressed in drag Careers stopped with quick back stab While anonymous informer flees And leaves us with our fantasy And erotic visions Who did what, when, to whom In the dominatrix room? Tabloids daily titillate Each sordid tale reverberates All across the nation (What can I say?) Feed the reporter (It's a vendetta) Read the reporter A rumor then a vicious phrase A poison pen can wreck your day And weather(?) words that crucify As tabloid judges sharpen up their knives Read the reporter Black and white See the reporter Victimize See a poor s**er Crucified To stop the truth, so tell your lies Betray your friends and get the prize The dagger's in, now twist the knife The gutter's full of other people's lives
