[Verse 1]
Welcome to the party, say hi to everybody
Paid for by Martini but they're sippin' on Bacardi
Body's more than just a flesh, you can sell it for success
What's your price, what's your address?
We can finish at my place
Ever been to Bali? I really need some sun
Such a shame 'bout that tsunami, I'll have to go to Cali
I can get you dressed, wrap your body in excess
Give them something to obsess over
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll love it when I
Give it to you, leave you wanting more
I know your addiction's attention
Let's start a show
Is it everything and more than you were hoping for?
Show us something we ain't never seen before
[Chorus]
Smash your competition, baby
Show us some good entertainment
Victory's your only payment
Gladiator, gladiator
[Verse 2]
Welcome to the party, I know it's kinda funny
That everyone is acting like they know you personally
Just play along, be nice and all
You won't get far being on your own
They've all been dying for a little drama
Their favourite stars getting out of coma
To fill the news with 90s nostalgia
It will take more than just a pretty face to top that
[Pre-Chorus]
Give it to you, leave you wanting more
I know your addiction's attention
Let's start a show
Is it everything and more than you were hoping for?
Now show us something we ain't never seen before
[Chorus]
Smash your competition, baby
Show us some good entertainment
Victory's your only payment
Gladiator, gladiator
[Outro]
Fake it 'til you make it
Mask on, never take it off
Wear it 'til wearing it feels natural
Whatever you tell yourself it's not true
Power's what I make it
Pixels like it's 8-bit
I'm picking your new favourite
You buy it and I savour it
You buy it and I savour it
You buy it and I savour it
You buy it and I savour it
Buy it and I savour it
You buy it and I savour it
