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 sucker   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
