Lyrics[]
Dark sun rose on the ridge cut clear across the sky As good a day as any to die No reservation madam No reason to know why Running late stiletto heels Strike the crew, send up the wheels You spend a life in preparation for this day Breathe in the air, it's loaded with fame Check out those weapons sister before you hit the fray String of pearls v ditzy gems Enter the battle of the lenses Red carpet massacre Don't want to hassle you Red carpet massacre Death squad papparazzi ah Red carpet massacre It's going to mess wiv ya We're in business You're on the hit list There's not so many now still standing on their feet Their knives are out and singing so sweet Engaged with sharper minds that cut you when you meet Aint the place to mess around When someone wants to take you down Maybe you think you're above it But baby we know that you love it Baby you know where to shove it Apply your lipstick For dying in public Red carpet massacre Don't want to hassle you Red carpet massacre Death squad papparazzi ah Red carpet massacre Don't want to mess wiv ya Now it's time Next in line We're so busted Done and dusted
