entertainment
All we are is entertainment caught up
in our own derangement
Tell us what to say and what to do
All we are are pretty faces,
picture perfect bottled rage
Packaged , synthesized versions of you
Weve all made petty fortunes
but we cant afford a life
Confined to pull out quotes in hotel rooms
They all scream California
and its toppling empire
But cant you see the end is coming soon?
Come one, come all,
the new sensations guarantees then obligations
Spotlights follow every single move
Basking here on ten foot stages,
pouty lips and oh so jaded
All as if we have something to prove
Despite these petty fortunes
we still cant afford a life
Confined to pull out quotes in hotel rooms
They all scream California
and its toppling empire
But cant you see the end is near?
And if we cared at all about this unknown plight
Then wed do something more
to finally make this right
Is this only entertainment?
Pull the curtains, places please
We learned to sing and dance and cry on cue
But this is more than entertainment
in a world so sick with pain
This is the only thing thats real or true
Weve all made petty fortunes
but we cant afford a life
Confined to pull out quotes in hotel rooms
They all scream bloody murder
over graves already dug
But cant you see the end?
