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
