PAPARAZZI (English Version)

作曲 : 野田洋次郎

Hey Hey Dad Hey Dad

We got assigned some homework in class

The topic they assigned us is listen

Write what your dad does for a living

We have to present in front of everyone

It kinda really sucks but I’ll try for once

The teacher told us she’s looking forward to

All the class brag about our dads

Oh Really? Really? Is that so?

Well there’s something about my job you should know

It’s a little different than most of them so

I give entertainment to the world we know

Entertainers, Music Players,

Athletes and others who’re famous

Either at home or place of work

I’m there watching their every turn

All up in every inch of their lives

That’s just the type of the job of mine

So when they mess up a little or do something all that is interesting

I write every little detail down and release it for the world to see

Takes a lot of strength and patience too

It’s not an easy thing to do what I do

Every single day, stalking, following, tapping, snapping

Doing it your way, all day every day gonna come back to you

All for the money, its written all over that smug little face

Do you feel Nothing, no way around it, you’re wrong all of you

You think you’re better than everyone else?

How do you sleep every night will you tell?

You flip and switch

all the ethics around but cheating and dishonesty’s you write about???

Bowing down to the politicians

Laughing at those who try to make a difference

There’s no way that when you were young

This is what you wanted be when you grew up

I don’t need to know

I don’t need to care

But if you do what you do, show some pride

Acting all tough when up in your business

Sneak off into the night like some ninja

Simply, coward can’t respect a bit

Your words mean nothing and it makes me sick

After the Movie was a big hit

You all start crawling out talking lotta shit

We didn’t just do this overnight

Been doing this for 10 years deep in the fight

We have fans waiting amazingly, patiently on our unique style of bravery

appreciate them and the bonds we made, that’s why we’re selling out arena tours

stupid, hold up, lose it

Even if I gave you the benefit of a doubt

Doesn’t give you reason to show up out of the blue in front of ****ing parents’ house

Asking “how does it feel? Your son finally made it after 10 long years”

How about I go to your parents’ house? I’ve got some questions I could ask about

Congrats on raising a healthy son

Who sits in a car from dusk to dawn

Outside someone’s house he waits and waits

Bombards with question that he knows they hate

Continues to sneak some photos in too, without any permission isn’t that rude?

He sells his soul to the highest bidding

Do you think that’s the right way to make a living?

Do you have anything to comment about that? No, you don’t?? Of course you do

It’s ok if you don’t, just try and force it out of your son like he does to us too

Wow dad, you’re amazing it’s true,

So, many people would be lost without you

I can say anytime that,

I’m really proud that you are my dad

But son look you gotta listen

People make fun of my job cause it’s different

Try to look down think their better than me

But I won’t let them get the best of me

Your dad can say with head held high

I’m living the life, what I can provide

I do it for the ones that are waiting

Patiently for me to share something fine

Ok, Ok that’s great and all it’s good you take pride in your job

you proudly go to work and live today, here is a pat on the back so say

When I shine the camera and light in your face, be proud and answer right away

Acting like you are on a date, but really eavesdropping every word I say

Can’t trust people, can’t trust the media

Feel like I’m slowly going insane

Can’t tell the truth can’t tell what’s fake

And you expect a smile on my face?

Blame it on the media that craves the info

Blame it on the people that crave the info

So you do it cause people expect it of you?

Isn’t that godly thing to do

You do it just to put a little food on your plate

You do it for some people just to entertain

But all those people, that you erased

Still have to face the world and live today

I do exactly what I need to do

You do what people be ashamed of you

If you still wanna say you have no shame

Then live your life without sneaky ways

You can’t even look me in the light

But still have the nerve to say you’re proud of your life?

Hey dad I finished, I tried real hard

I’m gonna give it my all tomorrow

Stand in front of my class so proud

tell everyone exactly who you are

Thanks son, that means a lot, I’m proud of you rather I say it or not

Oh yea, about tomorrow, I’ve been working too much too long

I haven't spent much time with you

Let’s take a family trip wherever you want to

So, don’t you worry, I’ll let you skip class

Just don’t tell the teacher it’ll be our secret
