your living in other people's lives
doesn't seem to be doing you a lot of use
believing in other people's lies
it's getting pretty hard to tell the truth
when you read the papers
when you read the papers
you're being told the easy side of life
exactly as it appears from the outside
now you know why the truth comes in disguise
it's the backward side, some new ones arrive
when you read the papers
when you read the papers
when you get to heaven
you'll meet them all again
the cast of thousands
spouting out of the corporate pen
demanding our money
to make up something new
starring new combinations
of the tried and twisted truth
all the human torches
catching fire
corrupt officials
getting caught
poor and the needy
robbers and k**ers
bankrupt stars [unintelligible] near-collisions
withhold your dreams
rape
runaway wives
other people's lives
births
d**hs
loonie left
murder, divorce, suicide
political intrigues, hospital cases
british weapons to foreign places
earthquake, flood
bodies in the mud
poison, crowds
a cast of thousands
god, man: open fire
