Smile for the Paparazzi Lyrics

Take back what they've taken
If you wanna play it safe
Keep on money makin'
You gotta save for rainy days
(While it's hot)

Take it slow
(While it's hot)
Yeah, you'll never know
(While it's hot)
Strike while it's hot
(While it's hot)
There ain't that much room at the top
Yeah, gotta make your way to the top
Gotta get to the top

Party queens, if you wanna be seen
Take a shit where you sleep and smile real wide
For the pop, pop, pop, pop, paparazzi
Pop, pop, pop, pop, paparazzi everywhere

Hear, hear!
Now you're famous
And you know the price you pay
(Know the price you pay)
I hope that ain't contagious
I ain't gonna live that way
(While it's hot)

Thank you, no
(While it's hot)
But I don't need to go to that spot
(While it's hot)
Get these climbers off my jock
Yeah, gotta step away from my jock
Step the fuck off my jock

Party queens, if you wanna be seen
Take a shit where you sleep and smile real wide
For the pop, pop, pop, pop, paparazzi
Pop, pop, pop, pop, paparazzi everywhere

Party queens, if you wanna be seen
Take a shit where you sleep and smile real wide
For the pop, pop, pop, pop, paparazzi
Pop, pop, pop, pop, paparazzi
Pop, pop, pop, pop, paparazzi
Pop, pop, pop, pop, paparazzi everywhere

Welcome =]]. I don't know the Spanish in the very beginning though, oh well.

I love this song. To me, it's saying, all these young and famous celebs want to be seen, and they'll go out and do just about anything to be in the spotlight.... "Take a shit where you sleep and smile real wide for the paparazzi...."

I love the spanish intro ♥ luv Gabe =D I saw them live and melted

yeah I pretty much agree with plasticxtiara

Hear Hear! Now you're famous But do you know the price you pay? Hope it ain't contagious I ain't gonna live that way

he's pretty much saying they'll do anything not realizing the consequences, they would basically sacrifice their own family to get into the spotlight, and that it'll probably be too late to do anything about it cause they've screwed themselves over to bad. And he just doesn't wanna live like that.

This song is so awesome...I love Cobra Starship. They are so amazing live too :)

I don't think this song is about Cobra doing anything to get in the spotlight,seeing that in the song the lyrics are talking to another person(s). But i think it's about other celebrities and the crazy things they do for attention.
