Damage Control

Now he’s out, it’s all in
The news he always wanted to be
He got more than what he went in there for
You couldn’t buy that kind of press in your dreams
You couldn’t buy that kind of press in your dreams
Markets crash in Tokyo
There are floods and wars and cheap cocaine
If there was an AIDS antidote we won’t know
Too busy hearing him try to dignify his fame

When the old sexcrime don’t become you
And every habit’s taken its toll
When the things you like mean a lawsuit
Life make-over, damage control
And when letterman wants to meet you
Selling more than you’ve ever sold
When you never could plan it this good
Crying sober, damage control
Are they fake, is she too thin?
When’s the last time she had surgery?
‘Cause the 80s porn films she was in
Her lawyers couldn’t stop from getting released

I see you, I see all there is to be seen
What I don’t wanna be
I see you, I see all there is to be seen
What I don’t wanna be
They settled out of court, her analysts moved in
The ex is with something he met in detox
We don’t care how much it hurt one bit
We only wanna know how much she got

Crying sober, damage control
Crying sober, damage control
I see you, I see all there is to be seen
What I don’t wanna be
I see you, I see all there is to be seen
And I don’t wanna be, and I don’t wanna be, and I don’t wanna be
