Tabloid Junkie By Michael Jackson

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

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
So why do we keep foolin' ourselves

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

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

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
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

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

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
Then why do we keep foolin' ourselves

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

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
You're so damn disrespectable

1. Words from the Wise

Michael taught important lessons in his time here on Earth.

For those who listened with open ears, the message was well-received.

2. Who was he? Fucking Jesus?

You have some serious celebrity worship issues. Get help.

3. I think you need help

The poster wasn't comparing MJ to Jesus. MJ was all about peace and love. That's all.

4. This is a good one. The HIStory album is a work of art, truly.

Without "Childhood" and "You Are Not Alone" (and MAYbe "D.S."--I'm kind of meh about that one), I think it would be the perfect album, I daresay his best, or at least his most artistic and creative for sure. They Don't Care About Us, Scream, 2Bad, Money, and Tabloid Junkie are my favorites from that one. I guess I like angry Mike! :) Oh yeah, and "This Time Around" is great, too.

Blood On the Dance Floor follows up HIStory so well. I'd love to take the ballads off of HIStory (I love them, too, with the exception of "Childhood" and "You are Not Alone") and replace them with the first five on BOTDF just to listen to the harder-edged stuff from beginning to end...that would be the most epic album ever! If anyone who happens to read this hasn't listened to BOTDF, you really must! Is it Scary, Morphine, and Ghosts will blow you away.
