[Intro]  
             E     Bx3
        A     D
Whole song repeats this all the way through
[LYRICS]
you never listened to a word i said
you only see for the clothes that i wear
or did the interest go so much deeper
it must have been the colour of my hair
the public image
what you wanted was never made clear
behind the image was ignorance and fear
you always hide behind this public machine
still follow the same old scheme
public image
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
public image
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
public image
public image you got what you wanted
public image belongs to me
its my entrance my own creation
my grand finale my goodbye
goodbye
