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
