Other Peoples Lives

Selling exes down the river

every Katie's got her price

and the details make you shiver

but it's hard to escape when your head is stuck in vice

because nothing matters in the self obsessive age

where they dare you not to notice

but it's everywhere in shocking colour on the page



In the magazine

staring out at me

out of my TV

other people's lives

pixelated lives

just like yours and mine



Every weekend i bear witness

to the social suicides

to the thief who stays for breakfast

to the poster child screwing everybody's wife



Yeah it's just a story

but it keeps me hanging on

for the needy soul,

the glory hole confessional

I got to see what's going down



In the magazine

staring out at me

out of my TV

other people's lives

pixelated lives

just like yours and mine



Read the headlines...

hear the sirens

i'm re-united... out of rehab... again



It's everywhere

it's shocking colour in on the page

in the magazine

staring out at me

out of my TV

other people's lives

pixelated lives

just like yours and mine



In the magazine

staring out at me

out of my TV

other people's lives

pixelated lives

just like yours and mine
