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
