It's the story, 
The story that you're craving 
A tale of all those people 
In the spotlight misbehaving 
'Cuz passing judgment 
On others is the game's name 
It's so insane 
How we sell shame... 

And oh yes, we buy it-- 
Consume it by the ton, 
Binge until we vomit 
And tell ourselves it's fun 
There are no anorexics 
When it comes to making news, 
Selling who's who, who's dating who 
What couple's through, who's feeling blue 
Don't matter what's true... 

So pour yourself another 
Cup of stone cold fiction 
Just to feed your 
Main stream media addiction 
Pay no attention to my 'ill prediction 
'Bout your seedy-ass affliction.. 
Cuz it may thrill you, fill you 
With titillation and elation 
But no joke it will kill you 
(Your mind, mind you) 'cuz 

It's the story, 
The story that you're craving 
A tale of all those people 
In the spotlight misbehaving 
'Cuz passing judgment 
On others is the game's name 
It's so insane 
How we sell shame...
