put it on a video
say it on the radio
but never let the truth show
acting in a feature
become a TV creature
put yourself in place
with a smiling face

show business
image politics
this is the age of
show business
get an image fix

diving through a looking glass
just like the greatest stars
you don't have to be yourself
change into someone else
pace another sound bite
make a million overnight
give up your private life
spotlight shines so bright

show business
image politics
this is the age of
show business
get an image fix

show business
image politics
this is the age of
show business
get an image fix

seeing is believing
seeing is believing
