Imagine how I felt

Where did my illusions go?
I found out Michael Jackson ain't no longer a Negro
I found he does his moonwalk with mechanical help
Goebbels (1) used a big lie, Jackson used a belt

Rock music won't ever be the same
I found out Johnny isn't Diesel's real name (2)
I found half of hip hop is just senseless rhyming
New Kids on the Block weren't really miming

Imagine how I felt when I heard of Michael Jackson's conveyor belt

There's a question I like to pose
How come God is acting like he's Axel Rose? (3)
How come Public Enemy (4) are from the middle class?
How can Sinead O'Connor shave her head, when it's up her arse?

Oh Michael I believed
The greatest moonwalk I'd ever seen
And then I read in a magazine
It's done with machines!

I can take his plastic surgery
I can take his manufactured lunacy
But his nose ain't the only thing that's not for real
My hero moonwalks on cogs and wheels
On cogs and wheels!
