We fell in love with Princess Di in '82
The press was photographing everything she'd do
They tracked her everywhere from here to Timbuktu
Oh-a oh-a

They took their photos, no respect for privacy
Using the latest in zoom lens technology
And then they chased her through the streets of gay Paris
Oh-a oh-a
They act like children
Oh-a oh-a
Someone should tell them

Media killed the royalty star
Media crashed the royalty's car
The paparazzi go too far
Oh-a-a-a oh

I'm in the checkout line, it's moving rather slow
I glance around and see the tabloids down below
Those slimy bastards, they'll never get my dough
Oh-a oh-a
They are the worst scum
Oh-a oh-a
You shouldn't buy them
Media killed the royalty star
Media crashed the royalty's car
The Princess' death has broke our hearts
The paparazzi went too far
It's time to stop harassing stars
And drunken chauffeurs shouldn't be driving their cars

Too far, they know who they are
Too far, you know who you are

Media killed the royalty star
Media crashed the royalty's car
Media killed the royalty star (Too far, you know who you are)
Media crashed the royalty's car
Media killed the royalty star (Too far, you know who you are)
Media crashed the royalty's car
