Public Image, Private Pain. (Song Lyric)

public image

 PUBLIC IMAGE; PRIVATE PAIN

So you made it, your dreams have realised.

Don’t you break it ‘fore the glory dies.

You’re gonna hate it, if they see behind your eyes,

stick with the shades while the spotlight shines.

Your reputation, must be maintained,

falsification; that can be arranged.

Public relations, will wipe away the stains

take the adoration, but don’t take the blame.

.

public image hide your private pain.

In the mirror; you’ll never change.

All you’ll see is remains.

All you’ll be is remains.

Will you ever see yourself again?

Will you ever be yourself again?

.

Are you that deep yes? what’s to hide?

Just keep your weakness, way outta sight,

bury your secrets out of the light

have no regrets, your image, must be right.

.

Ppublic image hide your private pain,

in the mirror; you’ll never change.

all you’ll see is remains

all you’ll be is remains

will you ever see yourself again?

will you ever be yourself again?

.

Standing at the feet of the next 1 thousand years.

A teardrop of image worth a heart full of sweat & tears.

Spin the spin, get on a roll

in this propaganda world, don’t let them slander your soul.

.

Lookin tall, on a mountain of sand,

crowds enthralled by the way you stand.

Too big to fall, too cool to change hands,

there’ll be no recall for yesterday’s man.

.

Public image hides your private pain

will you ever see yourself again?

Public image hides your private pain

will you ever be yourself again?
