[Intro]

Hello, hello

Hello, hello

Hello, hello

Ha-ha-ha-ha

[Verse 1]

You never listened to a word that I said

You only seen me from the clothes that I wear

Or did the interest go so much deeper?

It must have been to the color of my hair

[Refrain]

The public image

[Verse 2]

Oh, what you wanted was never made clear

Behind the image was ignorance and fear

You hide behind this public machine

You still follow same old scheme

[Refrain]

Public image

[Verse 3]

Two sides to every story

Somebody had to stop me

I'm not the same as when I began

I will not be treated as property

[Refrain]

Public image

[Verse 4]

Two sides to every story

Somebody had to stop me

I'm not the same as when I began

It's not a game of monopoly

[Refrain]

Public image

[Verse 5]

Public image, you got what you wanted

The public image belongs to me

It's my entrance, my own creation

My grand finale, my goodbye

[Outro]

Public image

Public image

Goodbye
