Rip It Up Lyrics

Did you ever get the feeling you were born to lose
Smacked in the face with a silver spoon
Skinny doll gimme your magazine queen
Just spread your legs for the silver screen
From the bedroom baby to the city a' light
You look pretty good but you're not so bright

Flashin' your stash ain't nothin' new
I'm gonna get ya my pretty:your little dog too
Make me rich, your doctor said
And if you ever break down i'll cut you up again
On the bedroom wall the stars look bright
But they don't belong in the city a' light

Get on your feet boys
Rip it up, rip it up if your ever gonna make it!
Get on your feet girls
Rip it up, rip it up if your ever gonna make it!

Well well well what a wild wild dream
Monkey do, what a monkey scene
Daddy done bought you a record deal
Bargain basement boy how does it feel
From the bedroom baby to the city a' light
Look pretty good but you're not so bright

Get on your feet boys
Rip it up, rip it up if your ever gonna make it!
Get on your feet girls
Rip it up, rip it up if your ever gonna make it!
Rip it up, rip it up, rip it up, rip it up
Rip it up, rip it up, rip it up

Get on your feet boys
Rip it up, rip it up if your ever gonna make it
Get on your feet girls
Rip it up, rip it up if your ever gonna make it

Get on your feet boys
Rip it up, rip it up till it's amputated

Get on your feet girls
Rip it up, rip it up to the high rotation

Get on your feet boys
Rip it up, rip it up watch em go home wasted

Get on your feet girls
Yeah i know your gonna make it

Get on your feet boys
Rip it up, rip it up got a lot don't waste it

Get on your feet girls
Rip it up, rip it up get a new decoration

Get on your feet boys
Rip it up, rip it up money face is waitin'

Get on your feet girls
Rip it up, rip it up get a new fascination

Get on your feet boys
Kiss, blow a kiss to the wall your facin'

Get on your feet girls
It's time to collect from the bank generation

Rip it up, rip it up, rip it up, rip it up
Rip it up, rip it up, rip it up

wow i rekn this is the most awsome song on their new album!! the film clip is cool too

Cover art for Rip It Up lyrics by Jet

Really, this song seems to me, like they're talking about the entertainment industry. At first, it seems they're making a reference to movie stars such as "spread your legs for the silver screen" and when they say "make me rich your doctor said" they're talking about cosmetic surgery.

Then they talk about record deals and bargain basement, of course, speaking about untalented artists getting record deals out of the luck of the draw, so to speak.

This song is written about Paris Hilton. Cam said so when I saw them in concert in Dallas. That makes the song make a lot more sense. "I'm gonna get you my pretty and your little dog too". HAHAHA

Cheers

I don't think my version has this part:

"Get on your feet boys Rip it up, rip it up till it's amputated

Get on your feet girls Rip it up, rip it up to the high rotation

Get on your feet boys Rip it up, rip it up watch em go home wasted

Get on your feet girls Yeah i know your gonna make it

Get on your feet boys Rip it up, rip it up got a lot don't waste it

Get on your feet girls Rip it up, rip it up get a new decoration

Get on your feet boys Rip it up, rip it up money face is waitin'

Get on your feet girls Rip it up, rip it up get a new fascination

Get on your feet boys Kiss, blow a kiss to the wall your facin'

Get on your feet girls It's time to collect from the bank generation"

Is this part even real? BTW I have Rip It Up from the TMNT soundtrack.
