Deadline, the beasts have come to life
The silence has been broken, they'll have their way tonight
Headline, a secret agony
Rumors can be proven, there's a picture on page three

Gonna bring you the inside story
Run it as a front page spread
Gonna tell you the inside story
Did you hear what the victim said?

Showtime, and there's anger at the scene
Our star is under pressure
Get his face up on the screen
Wild eyes, as the car is rushed away
Your shame is what they feed on, and we read everything they say.

Gonna bring you the inside story
Run it as a front page spread
Get a load of the inside story
Did you hear what the victim said
Gonna bring you the inside story
Play it on the nighly news
Doesn't matter how we get the story
Doesn't matter who we have to use

If the city closes up their thrill is gone
They no longer hold the keys to Babylon
So they wait in towers built to ill advise
For another famous head to victimize
Hard time, for the guy who played to win
They claim he's been broken
He'll have to fight to save his skin

Gonna bring you the inside story
Run it as a front page spread
Get a load of the inside story
Did you hear what the victim said
Gonna bring you the inside story
Play it on the nighly news
Doesn't matter how we get the story
Doesn't matter who we have to use

Gonna bring you the inside story
