Lyrics of Tabloid Junkie by Michael Jackson
intro
In the news today, from the strange and weird fact file
Singer Michael Jackson sleeps in an oxygen chamber
The singer says that the hyperbaric chamber has the benefit of reversing
The aging process
verse
Speculate to break the one you hate
Circulate the lie you confiscate
Assassinate and mutilate
As the hounding media in hysteria
Who's the next for you to resurrect?
JFK exposed the CIA
Truth be told, the grassy knoll
As the blackmail story in all your glory
pre-chorus
It's slander
You say it's not a sword
But with your pen you torture men
You'd crucify the Lord
And you don't have to read it, read it
And you don't have to eat it, eat it
To buy it is to feed it, feed it
Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves?
chorus
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen, don't make it factual
Though everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen don't make it factual, actual
They say he's homosexual
verse
In the hood, frame him if you could
Shoot to kill, to blame him if you will
If he dies, sympathize
Such false witnesses, damn self-righteousness
In the black, stab me in the back
In the face, to lie and shame the race
Heroine and Marilyn
As the headline stories of all your glory
pre-chorus
It's slander
With the words you use
You're a parasite in black and white
Do anything for news
And you don't go and buy it, buy it
And they won't glorify it, 'fy it
To read it sanctifies it, 'fies it
Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves
chorus
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen, don't make it factual
Everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen, don't make it factual
See, but everybody wants to believe all about it
chorus
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen, don't make it factual
See, but everybody wants to believe all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen, don't make it factual, actual
She's blonde and she's bisexual
bridge
Scandal
With the words you use
You're a parasite in black and white
Do anything for news
And you don't go and buy it, buy it
And they won't glorify it, 'fy it
To read it sanctifies it, 'fies it
Why do we keep foolin' ourselves?
Slander
You say it's not a sin
But with your pen you torture men
But why do we keep foolin' ourselves?
chorus
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen, don't make it factual
Though everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen, don't make it factual
See, but everybody wants to read all about it
chorus
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen, don't make it factual
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen, don't make it factual
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the TV screen don't make it factual, actual
outro
You're so damn disrespectable
Writer(s): Terry Lewis, Michael Jackson, James Harris Iii
