Smile for the picture Songtext

von Angelo Kelly

She's a comic figure now, we read about it in the magazines
Of how she lived and died
Some say she was a saint, others say she was a whore
But in the end everybody cried
Won't you smile for the picture while you die tonight
Because the world is watching, you know the world is watching
Won't you smile for the picture while you die tonight
Because the world is watching, you know the world is watching, huh

It ain't personal don't take it wrong, I'm just tryin' to do my job
Gotta get the picture in
The people have the right to know 'cause when you're down it makes them happy
Who cares if it costs your life

Won't you smile for the picture while you die tonight
Because the world is watching, you know the world is watching
Won't you smile for the picture while you die tonight
Because the world is watching, you know the world is watching

Io io oh oh, io io oh oh, io io oh oh, let's send a prayer
Io io oh oh, io io oh oh, io io oh oh, let's send a prayer

Ten years have past and nothing has changed, we still finance all those criminals
'Cause we love to see the blood

Won't you smile for the picture while you die tonight
Because the world is watching, you know the world is watching
Won't you smile for the picture while you die tonight
Because the world is watching, you know the world is watching

Io io oh oh, io io oh oh, io io oh oh, let's send a prayer
Io io oh oh, io io oh oh, io io oh oh, let's send a prayer
Io io oh oh, io io oh oh, io io oh oh, let's send a prayer
