What I know of you I've only seen on the T.V.

heard on the radio

or read in the news

there's nothing else to see or to hear about in your defense

the verdict's in the word is out we know about you



and you have no voice

you have no choice

you could build yourself a fortress but you can't talk to me

and there's no way it's gonna go away

while the news of your success is right in front of me



make your bed

lie in it

don't complain

we're the same

or are we



you grew up way too fast

and the spotlight was as hot as you

our interest only fed by you you're bigger than life

accountability to me is your every sacred privacy

and who you know and where you eat are noted and key



where did you come from are you real?

how did you get this much appeal?

a modern god we follow you

where do you start and do you end

are you a part of our pretend

a modern god we follow you
