Privatize Lyrics

How come if your song becomes number one

The beating begins

They publish your sins

Telling your story without an interview

And in the public's eye

You're not just one of the guys

How come if your movie does the best business of the year

They publish that you eat hair pie

Exposing your lesbian lie

Telling your story without an ounce of truth

And in the public's eye

You're not just one of the gals

Privatize your personal right

To build a wall around your life

Away from the stylized lies

Of the tabloid culture trying to sell your soul

Privatize your personal right

To build a wall around your life

Away from the stylized lies

Of the tabloid culture trying to sell your soul

How come if your voice is a voice on satellite radio

They say your word is from Mars

Photos of your autopsy scars

Telling your story without an ounce of proof

And in the public's eye

You're not just one of the guys

How come if your novel becomes one all children follow

They publish you're a pedophile

And that you will stand trial

Publish your story without a clue what this could do

And in the public's eye

You're not just one of the gals

Privatize your personal right

To build a wall around your life

Away from the stylized lies

Of the tabloid culture trying to sell your soul

Privatize your personal right

To build a wall around your life

Away from the stylized lies

Of the tabloid culture trying to sell your soul

By Jesus, do you have any shame?

By Jesus, do you have any shame?

Their misery, your fortune and fame

To be with the in crowd is the price you pay

To be rich

And in the public's eye

You're not just another face in the crowd

Privatize your personal right

To build a wall around your life

Away from the stylized lies

Of the tabloid culture trying to sell your soul

Privatize your personal right

To build a wall around your life

Away from the stylized lies

Of the tabloid culture trying to sell your soul
