Sittin' on a subway
Reading all about it
Another bold faced lying headline I don't doubt it
This fascination with character assassination
When all you really have in life is your reputation

It's your life, it's their story
It's your pain, their gain
Your shame, their glory
It's their claim to your fame
And your name is fair game

In the express lane checkout line
Thumbing through the pages
Killing time
I've got bloodstained inkstains on my hands
I'm believing things I do not understood

A fairy tale of betrayal
The plain and simple truth is not for sale
Elaborated, exaggerated lies
The plain and simple truth it will not fly

It's your life, it's their story
It's your pain, their gain
Your shame, their glory
It's their claim to your fame
And your name is fair game

It's their claim to your fame
And your name is fair game

It's black & white & read all over
Inquiring minds
They want to know ya
It's in the sun, it's in the moon, it's in the Star
It's not how you live your life it's who you are

Not trying to warn ya
Just trying to scare ya
Trial by media is trial by error
And matters of fact have no weight
Long live the late great Fourth Estate

Your life, their story
Your pain, their gain
Your shame, it's their glory
It's their claim to your fame
And your name is fair game

It's their claim to your fame
And your name is fair game
It's fair game, fair game
