The thing we do in public
We used to hide in private
But we don't think twice about it now
We shout into our cellphones
And we don't care who hears us
We have killed off that most sacred cow
It took us over without a fight
If everyone does it must be right
We do what we do and we don't think it through
We are who we are from Antigua to Zanzibar
Ain't got no shame
The thing we do in public
We used to shield from view
And we once did that for a pretty good reason
Who really wants to hear
Our most intimate details
Now hearing our details is an open season
Now we don't bother to cover our head
Living here among the walking dead
The thing we do in public
We didn't do in public
It showed we that had a little touch of class
Now the genie has escaped
There's no putting him back inside
Yeah the genie has really kicked our ass
There's no end our to vanity
It is a virus of insanity
